We help local governments identify, evaluate and implement the best practices identified in the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) publication "Recommended Practices for State and Local Governments." The publication is a collection of recommended practices formally approved by the Executive Board of the GFOA.
Our approach to helping you develop best practices includes the following processes:
* Help management select which GFOA best practices will be included within the scope of the engagement * Develop background considerations related to the government's current practices * Summarize the GFOA recommendation(s) related to each selected best practice area * Consider GFOA recommendations in relation to operating processes, focusing on the practicality of implementing the recommendations * Develop recommendations for implementation by the government based on a comparison with its current practice * Hold a conference with management personnel to discuss our initial recommendations * Present our recommendations orally to management, board, etc. * Present an outline or letter that summarizes our recommendations
