Descriptions
Deliverables
Both the CAFR Analysis and the
Not-for-Profit analysis paper will demonstrate your comprehension of the course
subject matter and your ability to communicate effectively in writing. You are
to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of (1) a governmental entity and (2)
a not-for-profit organization of your choosing.
Not-for-Profit
Organization Analysis
For the Not-for-Profit analysis, you
will need to identify that organization’s mission statement and then describe
the extent to which the mission was accomplished. You will need to identify
criteria for evaluation of the mission statement, measure achievement, and
offer a conclusion on the evidence presented.
The paper should be about three
pages long, single-spaced, in 12-point font. References must be included, but
will not be counted as part of minimum page count. The paper should be
submitted in the Assignments section of WebTycho.
Your paper will be graded as a
deliverable designed to show your mastery of the presentation of ideas,
references (APA in text citation and properly presented “Works
Cited”), and appropriate style and grammar.
CAFR
Analysis
During the semester, we will be
working on a continuing project focusing on the comprehensive annual financial
report (CAFR) of a local government. You will need to obtain a CAFR from a
local government and use it in answering questions pertaining to the various
chapters. The purpose of this project is to make you familiar with a
government’s financial statements and see how the information in the text is
translated into and presented in the financial statements.
