Local Government Finance in NC is being offered at Blue Ridge Community College, Flatrock Campus, TEDC 337, starting Tuesday, January 21, 5:45 – 7:45 pm. Classes will run through March 10. Students will learn the basics of local government finance in North Carolina from a very practical perspective in this overview course. This is not a “debit and credit” accounting course, nor does it assume you have a formal accounting education or background. Rather, you will be introduced to the basic job functions that are typically housed in the finance department, with more attention given to those that are found in smaller governments. This course also will tie those functions back to the statutory requirements for all NC local governments, primarily the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act (G.S. 159 Article 3).
