An Elected Official's Guide: Investing

Second Edition
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) has published a revised second edition of its popular book An Elected Official's Guide: Investing to help public sector investors keep pace with the many regulatory, technological, and other changes they have faced in the last decade. Using the series' proven question-and-answer format, this guide covers key aspects of developing an investment policy, relationships with banks and broker-dealers, investment instruments, cash flow forecasting, internal control considerations, the investment process, basic portfolio strategies, investment advisers, investment reporting, investing bond proceeds, and technology. Also included are a glossary of common investment terms and a list of useful Web sites.
