About The Basics Of Public Budgeting And Financial
Product Description Menifield's budgeting and finance book firmly connects budgetary theory and practice. It provides instructors a standalone book that covers all of the major thematic areas expected of a book of this type. Review This text is a great tool to help students and practitioners understand budgeting from a theoretical and practical perspective. It provides case studies and examples for understanding applications and excel worksheets that are instrumental in giving practical experience for developing budget proposals, personnel and capital budgets. Role playing opportunities are also provided which gives students a better understanding of the actors in the budget process. Students enhance their communication skills by presenting a proposal in a simulated hearing. They also forecast data and learn debt and cutback management strategies. The text also makes teaching the budgeting course easier as it is accompanied with power point presentations and an instructor’s manual. -- LaShonda Stewart, Associate Professor, Southern Illinois UniversityThis book is ideal for an undergraduate or graduate level course on state and local government budgeting. It covers basic concepts and skills on budget preparation, implementation, analysis and presentation. The examples and exercise questions were designed based on real world cases and have been adapted to facilitate students’ learning. I have successfully used many of the cases in MPA classes to generate lively and engaging discussion of complicated issues. The Instructor’s Guide and Excel spreadsheets also provide good resources for instructors to prepare lectures, design assignments and exams. -- Gang Chen, Assistant Professor, SUNY Albany About the Author Charles E.
