Steve Larson, CPA, has prepared a one day course – “Introduction to Governmental Accounting” – and is presenting it throughout the State through CSMFO. The CSMFO Board of Directors is strongly committed to providing training opportunities throughout California, and Mr. Larson has volunteered his expertise and time to provide a great educational benefit to al financial staff members in your organization.
The Workshop will be presented in four phases:
Basic Accounting Concepts
The Accounting Process
Governmental Accounting
Role of the Budget
The course is designed for either an individual with some accounting background who is just entering the governmental field or an individual with governmental experience but not in the finance/accounting area.
The course introduces the seminar participant to basic terminology focusing first on the profit oriented entity. As the course progresses, the focus evolves to governmental terminology. The assumption is that the participant has had some experience in the corporate environment and thus will more quickly grasp the basic concepts because of familiarity. Once a basic understanding of accounting concepts is reached, these concepts can easily be applied to the unique requirements of the governmental area.
Attendance will be limited to 60 people.All fees must accompany your registration and be received by the August 7, 2009 deadline.There will be a $35 processing fee for any changes or cancellations made prior to the event.
