Local Government Education

Proper budgeting, accounting, and reporting practices are necessary to fund a local government's priorities and meet its day-to­-day operations. The "Basic Financial Administration for Wisconsin Local Governments" handbook focuses on the needs of smaller local governments and addresses the financial operational needs of clerks, treasurers, administrators, and governing bodies. Chapters include the following topics: payroll, budgeting, reconciliations, purchasing, municipal borrowing, planning, and property tax administration.
