Governmental Accounting

Instructions: Download a copy of the most recent comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for a local government (city, county, special district, etc…) of your choice. Make sure you obtain a full CAFR and not just an annual financial report for this project. You can usually access a City’s CAFR by doing a search on “City of (name) CAFR” and looking for a link to the city’s departments. In most instances, you will find the most recent statement will be from June 30, 2014. Prepare a report covering the following topics noted below. You will be graded on your ability to read the CAFR and the quality of your responses. PROOF READ your work before you turn it in as writing technique (i.e. grammar, spelling, etc) will be considered as well. The main portion of this project is to portray your knowledge of what the CAFR is telling you so correlate back to the material in the course as much as possible.
