Financial Statements as a Storytelling Tool in Governmental Audits

Many government finance staff and city managers see audits only as compliance documents. However, the audit can identify trends, risks, and red flags — if you know where to look.  

This session focuses on how to use the audit as a practical management tool. Participants will learn how different sections of the audit, including the financial statements, notes, audit opinion, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), can be used to: 

• Understand financial position, operating results, and cash trends 
• Recognize risks, warning signs, and issues that affect future budgets and capital plans 
• Interpret the significance of the audit opinion and key disclosures 
• Support clearer communication with council and the public 

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your financial management skills. Register now for the webinar presented by Maner Costerisan’s Tyler Baker, CPA, CGFM®, Principal, alongside Nate Geinzer, CEO of Double Haul Solutions, and discover how to leverage the MD&A for faster, clearer audits and improved daily decision-making.
