Program Description:
Budgeting is at the very core of local government finance, where it functions as a practical tool for setting policy, establishing priorities, promoting effectiveness and efficiency in operations, and ensuring both financial and programmatic accountability. Budgeting can only be as effective as the budget professionals who make it all happen. This webinar is designed to equip those on the front lines of local budgeting to do an even better job meeting the many practical challenges they must face from day to day and from year to year.
This year’s first annual Better Budgeting web-stream event will offer practical advice on how to:
- Improve the process of budgeting for salaries and wages;
- Better assess the potential impact of changes in service level;
- Make better decisions on the appropriate levels of fees and charges;
- Create a truly effective capital budgeting process;
- Design more effective measures of performance; and
- Setting up a long-term planning process.
This two-hour web-stream event combines lecture, panel discussion, and examples to communicate and reinforce the key policies and critical procedures presented.
