Governmental Accounting – Maryland

Many state and local governmental agencies in Maryland face multiple accounting and audit challenges. Not only are Executive Directors and Comptrollers required to maintain compliance with basic reporting requirements, but they must also be aware of other requirements triggered by government funding and compliance. This includes the need to maintain a robust accounting process, which includes budget preparation, cash flow projections, and revenue enhancement strategies. This confluence can make maintaining and operating an optimized accounting function challenging. Due to the difficulty, consulting with a qualified advisor who can help guide you through the process and offer measurable support is essential.
