Fraunfelter Accounting Services has performed
GAAP conversions for local governments since 2000 with over
fifty reports being completed under the GASB 34 reporting model.
Having participated in or completing conversions for over 100
reports, you can be assured that your government will receive
a level of service and knowledge that provides your office with
the assurance of a solid report while completing the project
within the proposed budget and to the satisification of your
audit team and yourself. All reports sent to GFOA or ASBO associated
with Fraunfelter Accounting Services have received the Certificate
of Achievement award.
There are many areas that Fraunfelter Accounting Services can
assist you in besides a GAAP conversion. Having studied the
state foundation formula, I have worked with both schools and
local governments to provide relevant information regarding
the total impact a TIF property has on the total amount the
state provides to the affected school district. The analysis
can also focus on individual TIF properties for the local government's
infrastructure needs. An understanding of how the TIF process
works is a must to having a successful relationship with the
affected school district. |
