Fiscal Accountability Policies And Procedures (10B)
After reviewing the NAEYC Standards on Leadership and Management, provide at least two examples of ways the Management Policies and Procedures (10.B) are connected to Fiscal Accountability Policies and Procedures.
I found several connections between the Management Policies and Procedures (10B) and fiscal accountability policies and procedures. The two examples that I will discuss are 10.B.01 & 10.B.04. The way that 10.B.03 connects to Fiscal Accountability Policies and Procedures is by emphasizing on the fact that there needs to be “procedures that guide the staff in collecting and analyzing data that are used to monitor the operation of the program” (NAEYC, 2016, p. 1). This week I learned about the importance of having policies and procedures

    Continous Problem - City of Everlasting Sunshine

    Chapters 2 through 8 describe accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments. A continuous problem is presented to provide an overview of the reporting process, including preparation of fund basis and government-wide statements. The problem assumes the government is using fund accounting for its internal record-keeping and then at year-end makes necessary adjustments to prepare the government-wide statements. The problem that follows is presented in the same order as the textbook (beginning with Chapters 3, and 4). Each chapter requires the preparation of journal entries to record the events and transactions of governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary funds. For the General Fund, use control accounts for the budgetary accounts, revenues, expenditures and encumbrances. For all other funds, use separate accounts for each type of revenue and expenditure/expense. At appropriate stages, preparation of the fund and government-wide statements are required. The following funds are included in this series of problems: Governmental Funds General Special revenue—Street and Highway Fund Capital projects—City Hall Annex Construction Fund Debt service—City Hall Annex Debt Service Fund Debt service—City Hall Debt Service Fund Proprietary Funds Internal service—Stores and Services Fund Enterprise—Water and Sewer Fund Fiduciary Funds Private-purpose—Student Scholarship Fund Pension trust—Fire and Police Retirement Fund…

    Fasb And Gasb Comparison Essay

    "Accountability is the cornerstone of all financial reporting in government" (Wilson and Kattelus, 2002). This is measured by interperiod equity, budgetary and fiscal compliance, and service efforts and accomplishments (Granof and Warlow, 2003). Interperiod equity states that current year revenues must be sufficient for current year services. Governments are accountable to citizens. They must justify raising resources that will be used for provision of their services. Not-for-profit entities do not have luxury of many financial practices the FASB allows.…

    Nclb Legislation and Accountability

    The accountability movement has impacted the leadership of the school organization significantly. It has forced the administrator to be more focused on data collection which reinforces the organization's position of being progressive and substantiates the staff's work. However, the candidate's administrator has proven to be inconsistent with holding certain individuals accountable choosing instead to focus on specific personnel and possible infractions, whether they have bearing on this particular area of focus or not, therefore losing sight of the true outcomes being sought. When redirection is necessary to keep the organization in compliance of the accountability measures the administrator delegates this to a committee and has limited input relying instead on the members of the committee to research, discuss and decide on a course of action. Several new committees have been added to the candidate's organization to facilitate the implementation of the necessary leadership modules needed to smoothly and successfully meet the mandated criteria. The administrator is required to provide professional development for the staff to make sure they understand their role and to assist with compliance reporting.…

    Fiscal Law Philosophy Of Budget Enforcement

    Budget enforcement is a huge aspect of my job. For anyone who has a responsibility in government funds is required to take a fiscal law class. The fiscal law philosophy is: “The established rule is that the expenditure by Congress, not that public funds may be expended unless prohibited by Congress United States v. MacCollom (1976)” (Kepplinger). All individual’s that have the responsibility to expend funds have a lawful obligation to spend in the best interests of the government. An individual can be liable for making or authorizing purchases that are not with in the approved appropriations. This means that the individual or individual who authorized the purchased will be responsible for reimbursing the government or in harsher cases lose…

    Importance of Accountability

    The first purpose is to control the abuse and misuse of public resources and/or authority. This relates directly to financial accountability.” The second is to provide support that resources are used and control is exercised according to the right and legal professional standards, procedures, and societal values. This is intended for all three types of accountability. The third type of accountability is to promote and support improved management and service delivery through feedback and learning; the focus here is primarily on performance accountability.

    The New Government Accounting System (Issues in Public Audit)

    The New Government Accounting System (Issues in Public Audit)

    The New Government Accounting System: Issues in Public Audit 1 Introduction Historically, the growth of government auditing and accounting in the Philippines was greatly influenced by the administrative practices in the United States, so much so that during the time that the General Accounting Office in the United States was responsible for the government’s accounting, that concept was similarly introduced in the Philippines. Unfortunately, by the time the practice was abandoned in the United States in favor of a better system, the Philippines has then become independent and hence the change was not followed here.2 COA Promulgates New Accounting System Unlike in the United States where accounting standards are formulated by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) and subsequently enacted into law, such as the Federal Financial Management Act of 19963, the Philippines new government accounting system was formulated almost single-handedly by a team of highly professional and competent COA officials in only a span of four months4. Parenthetically, the FASAB is the standard-setting body in the U.S. composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Comptroller General, which body is also recognized by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as the official board that promulgates generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for federal entities.5 Thus, invoking the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines which vests the Commission on Audit with the exclusive authority to promulgate accounting and auditing rules and regulations, the COA promulgated COA Circular No. 2001-004 prescribing a New Government Accounting System (NGAS) for national government agencies, and COA Circular No. 2001-005 for local government units, to take effect January 1, 2002. Subsequently, COA Circular No. 2002-002 was issued prescribing the Manual on the NGAS. In the Foreword to the Manual the need to revamp the…
