The Goals of GFOAA:
-
To promote the use of efficient financial management systems by governmental organizations within the State of Alabama.
-
To improve the knowledge and skills of all individuals concerned with governmental finance.
-
To promote development of accounting, budgeting and financial reporting procedures in cooperation with the Government Finance Officers Association, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and all other organizations established with similar goals.
-
To provide a forum for the discussion and analysis of financial charters and ordinances and all other subjects of mutual concern to public finance officials.
Training... is the primary goal.
Accounting in the public sector is similar but uniquely different from the private sector. Managers in the public sector have additional information requirements than their counterparts in the private sector. Therefore, the methodology and format of the governmental accounting system carries with it a different set of training requirements. To this end, GFOAA devotes a significant portion of its energy and resources to identify, create and provide training specifically designed to meet these needs.
