Introduction to Governmental Accounting & Reporting

This 5-day course (mornings only) is an introductory course for participants with little formal of governmental accounting. It provides an overview of governmental accounting systems and includes a basic introduction to accounting principles, internal controls, and documentation requirements. It is helpful for participants who have completed a college accounting course but have found it difficult to transfer that knowledge into a heavily computerized environment.
