Course 21153A · 2 hrs · CPA

Budgeting in government is more than a planning exercise—it carries legal authority and real accountability. This course digs into the principles of governmental budgeting and internal control, while also examining real-world budget gimmicks states use to mask deficits, the cost of GAAP compliance, and creative tactics like selling assets to yourself. If you advise or audit government entities, understanding these issues helps you spot red flags and assess financial health more effectively.
