Governmental Accounting 101: Accounts Payable Best Practices

By Sadanand Pujari

Governmental accounting, including fund accounting financial transactions, focusing on the general fund and government-wide activities.

We will work through many example problems as we learn the material, posting transactions to a trial balance, so we can see how accounts behave. Many governmental accounts are new to many learners, and we will be using different accounting methods than just an accrual method. Posting transactions and seeing a trial balance will be very helpful in learning the material and is something lacking in most Books on the subject.

We will discuss the governmental accounting objectives and reporting requirements, comparing them to for-profit entities. The Book will assume we are familiar with for-profit accounting and will, therefore, focus on the areas of governmental accounting that are different, although we will continue to work with core concepts like the double entry accounting system.
