Leading a Government Finance and Accounting Function in a Post-COVID World
Date: Monday, September 25, 2023 at 12:50 PM – 1:50 PM
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.

Learning Objectives:
- Obtain an understanding of the governmental accounting landscape across the country
- Identify the potential issues facing governments impacted by staffing and workload challenges
- Implement best practices and innovative solutions utilized by other governments in similar situations
