Each answer must meet the word count of approximately 100 -130 words. No in-text citations or references. Use your own words. No markup, hyper-links, or tracking.
Strategic Planning
How does strategic planning impact the issues related to capital procurement?
Debt Levels
What criteria can we use to judge the correct level of state and local debt?
Once you have identified such, share with the class your reasoning.
Funding Sources
This question is a basic one related to funding resources. Compare and contrast revenue bonds, general obligation bonds.
Compare and contrast short-term borrowing, and creative financing?
Government Fund Accounting
The term deferred funding (think revenue) seems out of place in governmental fund accounting. It would seem that a government either has or does not have expendable financial resources as a result of property tax, grant, or other revenue transaction. Even more, no similar concept such as deferred working capital is used in business accounting. Explain the use of the term deferred revenues in governmental fund accounting.
Risk Analysis

What types of continuous direction and careful attention connote excellent risk management?
