Friday, May 15, 2020: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Governments across the United States, all with slightly different principles, values, and goals, are able to use variety of investment instruments depending on their investment policy.

In addition, speakers will discuss the process for valuing investments for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and the required note disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). *Note: Not all investment types may be available to all governments.
