RECOGNITION: CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION ONCE BOTH UNITS ARE COMPLETED Unit 1 The first unit of this two-unit programme provides an introduction to municipal accounting and financial reporting, with particular reference to the revenue or general fund. [The Capital Fund and other specialized funds are examined in Unit 2.] The unit begins by discussing the objectives of accounting in the public sector and the specific nature and features of municipal accounting. The municipal budgeting process is examined, followed by a description and analysis of municipal expenditures and revenues, and associated accounting and reporting requirements. One reflection of the practical nature of the course is its gradual introduction of various schedules from the Financial Information Return (FIR) and the use of these schedules as the basis for some course assignments. Fee: $326.35 (includes GST & course materials.) Unit 2 Just as Unit 1 concentrated on the Revenue Fund, Unit 2 shifts its focus to the other main funds found in municipal operations. Particular attention is given to the Capital Fund, and Lessons 1 and 2 examine the financing of capital expenditures, the control and record keeping relating to specific capital projects, and the administration of long-term debt. Lesson 3 deals with the varied financial relationships between municipalities and local boards and the accounting and reporting procedures in relation to such boards. The final two lessons discuss the audited financial statements and the financial information return, and include practical assignments relating to these reports. Fee: $326.35 (includes GST & course materials.) ALL UNITS OF MAP AND MAFP ARE OFFERED TWICE A YEAR: FALL AND WINTER TERMS. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER TO TAKE ANY OF THE UNITS OFFERED BY CORRESPONDENCE. |
