Studies show that the state and local government workforce has not returned to pre-COVID levels. Combine that with the shrinking pipeline of accountants, especially in the governmental realm, and many state and local governments are having to do more with less than ever before. This course will evaluate the current landscape for governmental finance and accounting functions, identify the potential current and future impacts of this shortage on their government and communities, and share best practices and innovative solutions to manage the increased workload and never-ending deadlines.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the environment of the current industry
• Associate open positions with possible internal control gaps
