Preparing financial statements for government entities can be quite complex. This 50-minute on-demand learning course will deepen your understanding of three key aspects: the conversion of governmental fund data to be incorporated into the government-wide financial statements, the consolidation of certain types of interfund balances and activity, and the allocation of direct costs and disallocation of any indirect costs in the governmental activities column of the government-wide financial statements.

We’re turning a popular session at GFOA’s 118th Annual Conference into a two-part webinar series. The Language of Numbers will equip you with practical tools and examples for simplifying complex numerical data. The Language of Numbers: How to Clearly Communicate Part One: September 9 https://lnkd.in/g-v7vADs Part Two: October 1 https://lnkd.in/guWraU2F Communicating numbers can be tricky because they’re often abstract. We teach kids to count using tangible objects like fingers and toes, but as finance professionals, we deal with figures that go far beyond that. In these webinars, you’ll discover creative ways to make numbers relatable by connecting them to everyday experiences. Don’t miss the chance to see how the City of Arlington used Legos and even a cooking show to deliver key budgeting insights—just one of the many great examples featured in GFOA’s Fiscal Fluency Challenge! #GFOA #localgov #creativity #explainer
