Choose Your Own Adventure: Allocating Costs for Internal Services

Along the journey to establish policies and procedures, finance professionals face a series of challenging decisions related to managing internal services—the activities a government undertakes to support its own operations. While there are no clear right or wrong answers, the strategy chosen will have implications for budgeting, financial reporting, and ongoing management of these functions.

This session will feature an interactive discussion on the pros and cons of establishing internal charges, deciding whether to create separate funds, selecting appropriate cost allocation and budgeting strategies, and communicating these decisions across the organization.

Attend this session to explore different options for managing internal services such as finance, procurement, information technology, fleet management, and more. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and identify the best path forward for your organization’s internal services strategy.
