Who should take the Introduction to Local Government Finance Course?

The introductory course is recommended for all state and local government, and public authority, officials and employees with direct responsibility, or oversight responsibility, raising, budgeting, managing, and expending public funds. The course is intended to provide a survey of a variety of topics related to local government and public authority finance.
