FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Training of DoD Financial Managers Could Be Enhanced

摘要

A key lesson learned from our survey data is that many state government and private sector organizations place a strong emphasis on training as a means of upgrading workforce knowledge of current financial management, accounting, and reporting requirements. On average, key financial managers in the surveyed large state governments and private sector organizations received 31 hours and 26 hours of training, respectively, in 1996 most of which was in technical accounting subjects. Some of the surveyed organizations had established training requirements for their financial personnel. Also, several organizations noted that their programs were designed, in part, in recognition of the training requirements that existed for employees holding professional certifications.
