The State Auditor’s Office, in partnership with MRSC, launched a new resource to help local governments establish financial policies.  In addition to our review of financial policies, there are five key areas of focus: asset management, cost allocation, debt management, fund balances and reserves, and investments.   You can access this resource here.
