Budget Tools

The thoroughly updated and expanded<strong> Second Edition</strong> of Greg G. Chen Lynne A. Weikart and Daniel W. Williams’ <em><strong>Budget Tools: Financial Methods in the Public Sector</strong></em> brings together scores of exercises that will take students through the process of public budgeting from organizing data through analysis and presentation. This thoroughly revised text has been restructured – it now has 30<strong> compact modules</strong> to focus on individual skills and enhance flexibility and is reorganized to cover more straightforward skills early in the book and more complex tools later on. Using budgets from all levels of government as well as from nonprofit organizations the authors give students the opportunity to work with real budgeting data to cover a range of topics and skills.<em><strong>Budget Tools</strong></em> provides instruction in the techniques and implementation of budgeting skills at a granular level to support a wide range of approaches to teaching the subject.<br />
