MPA 59913 State and Local Public Finance, Taxation & Auditing

Unlike the Public Finance & Taxation course, this course addresses more specific issues at state and local governmental levels; the impact of recessions and recoveries at this level of the economy, bond issues, credit ratings that might be discussed in audit reports, and budgetary ratio analysis. Students will use Excel as part of the course’s assignments, particularly related to statistical formulas.
