Webinar Overview

The Annual Financial Reporting Webinar Series is designed for “cash basis” cities, towns, counties, and special purpose districts. This series will look at how to file the annual financial report for the report year 2022.

Educational Objectives

The series has been developed to meet the need of those individuals responsible for the preparation and filing of the 2022 annual financial report. The series consists of two 3-hour webinars, held on consecutive days, with each webinar addressing specific components of the “cash basis” annual financial report and allowing for Q&A at the end. The series agenda will be as follows: 

• Preparation Steps for the 2022 Annual Financial Report, Reporting Requirements, Schedule 01 and Financial Statements C4/C5 - This session will address the preparation steps needed for reconciliation of financial data, review fund classifications and balance designations for cash basis entities, discuss Schedule 01 data, including an analysis of edit reports received from the SAO online system, and cover the 2022 reporting requirements and variables for cities, counties, and special purpose districts.  

• Supplemental Schedules 06 to 22, Notes to Financial Statements, Review and Submit - This session will cover all supplemental schedules, including a detailed discussion of Schedule 06 (bank reconciliation) for cities, towns, and counties and the reporting requirements for Schedule 09. This session will then address individual Notes to Financials, including how to tie the notes back to financial statements and supplemental schedules, and will cover internal/external reviews of the annual report and final submission of your report to the SAO.  

Registrants should commit to attending the full series, which has been designed to provide a complete understanding of the various steps needed to prepare the financial statements, notes, and supplemental schedules required for the 2022 financial reporting period.
