Governmental Accounting – Philadelphia (PA)
Many state and local governmental agencies in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania 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 does not include the need to maintain a robust accounting process, which includes budget preparation, cash flow projections, and revenue enhancement strategies. This confluence can make it challenging to maintain and operate an optimized accounting function. Due to the difficulty, it is essential to consult with a qualified advisor who can help guide you through the process and offer measurable support.
