Overview
We are pleased to provide the CBIZ governmental accounting and reporting training for the first time to governmental entities in Rhode Island. For over 30 years, we have conducted a similar, easy-to-understand seminar in Massachusetts on an annual basis and are excited to now offer it in Rhode Island. It has already been attended by over 700 Town Accountants/City Auditors and other related Town employees.
This 1-day seminar is designed for the Town Accountant/City Auditor (or Assistant) who wish to have a more comprehensive training in this complex accounting subject matter. The content is also beneficial for others who work in, or with, the accounting department of a municipality.
