What Classes Should You Attend?
The school offers educational sessions for the entire week. There are two segments offered:
Basic/Intermediate: Two and a half days beginning Monday morning and ending Wednesday at noon.
Intermediate/Advanced: Two days beginning Wednesday afternoon and ending Friday at noon.
You may register for either or both sessions
The Basic/Intermediate courses are tailored for all financial support staff and the staff person just beginning a career in governmental finance. In these sessions, participants will be exposed to an in-depth study and analysis of basic governmental finance concepts and principles. These sessions are also informative for anyone wishing to further expand their area of expertise or reacquaint themselves with the fundamentals of governmental finance. In other words, they provide a great refresher course!
The Intermediate/Advanced courses are tailored for seasoned finance professionals looking for information on current, more complex issues.
