The Forensic Report on the School Dept budget for FY 07 was presented earlier this year. This is my 2 cents on what it tells the voters and tax payers of Franklin, MA.
The document summarizes a forensic audit report of the Franklin School Department's finances from fiscal years 2005 to 2007. It found deficits of $400k in 2006 and $274k and $598k in 2007 that were covered by unauthorized transfers from other funds. The audit questions whether the explanations for the deficits make sense and if the recommendations will prevent future issues. It also raises questions about why earlier years were not audited, long-term financial management practices, and how to restore public trust.
The document discusses the four phases of managing a school budget: budget preparation, budget authorization, budget execution, and budget accountability. It provides details on the key steps and considerations involved in each phase. Budget preparation involves a school head determining needs and projections to develop a proposed budget. Budget authorization refers to government approval and enactment of the budget. Budget execution is when approved funds are spent per the budget. Budget accountability entails monitoring spending and submitting reports to ensure proper use of funds.
This document discusses water accounting systems in Australia, England, and the United States.
Australia established the National Water Initiative in 2004 and the Water Act of 2007, which assigned responsibilities to the Bureau of Meteorology including developing the Australian Water Accounting Standards. England is in the early stages of developing a system and is working with advisory boards. The United States lacks national standards and approaches vary between states and municipalities.
The document recommends establishing a unified national water accounting system in the US for consistency, comparability, and to address current water issues from a financial perspective.
The document provides details about a case study on forensic audit. It discusses what forensic audit is, types of fraud, the fraud triangle model, and the Satyam fraud case. The Satyam case involved falsified financial statements, inflated revenues and profits, fake bank balances and fixed deposits totaling Rs. 7,800 crores. Weak internal controls and governance failures at Satyam such as unethical conduct, false books, dubious roles of directors, auditors and banks allowed the fraud to occur and go undetected for years.

- The report analyzes Multnomah County's financial condition over the past 10 years. It found that while operating revenues have increased modestly, they have not kept pace with population growth, resulting in declining per capita spending. Intergovernmental revenues from federal and state governments remain a major funding source for county programs and services. Spending on health and human services has increased due to additional intergovernmental funding, while most other program spending is down. The county has generally maintained strong financial reserves in line with best practices.
Forensic audit into the Cree Development Corporation and former leadership of...LubiconCree
A forensic audit into the Cree Development Corporation shows that more than $27.5 million dollars was spent over a six-year period with little to show for the community.

Company History
Since its inception in 1975, Patton – Fuller
Community Hospital has been dedicated to
providing cutting-edge medical care to the
people of Kelsey and the surrounding
communities. PFCH is a for-profit hospital
and is owned by physicians active at the
facility. Quality patient care is the key to a
hospital’s success and as shareholders in
PFCH, our physicians are motivated to
provide the best patient care possible.
Our commitment to quality patient care has
allowed us to grow to where we are today.
As a 600-bed, full-service hospital, Patton –
Fuller Community Hospital is the premier
healthcare facility in the Northwest Valley.
Owned by the physicians active at the
hospital, the organization is governed by a
14 member board of directors, comprised of
12 physician-owners, with the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) as non-voting
members. The physician members serve 3-
year terms and choose four new members
every December during the annual
shareholder meeting. The shareholder
meeting is also when profits are distributed
to the physician owners.
CFO Report
Patton - Fuller Community Hospital derives
80% of its revenue from inpatient activity,
(including surgery charges, medical-surgical
nursing, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
charges).
The remaining 20% of its revenue is derived
from the Emergency Department and other
outpatient services.
The facility experiences the typical
“seasonal” fluctuations in census, with the
winter months producing the heavier
workload and the summer months being less
busy. Staffing is adjusted for census and
workload, and other expenses also fluctuate.
Utilities and other costs - contracted
maintenance, some professional fees, and
computer and other usage fees - do not
fluctuate.
In 2009, PFCH experienced some significant
events which are reflected in the financial
statements.
In 2008, the PFCH community mourned the
passing of Abigail Baderman, a long-time
benefactor of the hospital. In December
2009, pursuant to the probate of her will, the
hospital received a bequest from her estate,
recognized as an unrestricted donation.

Special Meeting Agenda – November 13, 2013
C.1 Bond Sale, 2010 Measure D and 2012 Measure E
Comment:
The Bond Finance Team recently completed the sale of $125 million of General Obligation bonds. The
District sold the first $85 million bond issuance of the 2012 Measure E authorization (Series A) and $40
million bond issuance of the 2010 Measure D (Series B) authorization. The District’s Financial Advisor,
Dave Olson of KNN, will provide a report.
The document is a term project analyzing the health of U.S. household consumer finances using data from the 2007 Survey of Consumer Finances. It examines household income, net worth, assets, and debt. The analysis finds that median income increased while mean income decreased, indicating a wider income distribution. Income is influenced by factors like age, education, and race. Those with college degrees earn much more than those with only high school diplomas. White households earn almost double what non-white or Hispanic households earn. The analysis also looks at different types of household debt like housing debt, education debt, and credit card balances.
This document summarizes workforce trends for Coconino County from 2007 to 2011. It finds that compensation remains below market rates, driving high turnover rates. Benefit costs are rising while salaries have been frozen. An aging workforce is expected to see high retirement rates. A 2007 compensation strategy aimed to increase salaries, implement performance pay, and monitor indicators. However, salaries have been frozen since 2010. Moving forward, the county aims to use trend data to recruit and retain employees through flexible policies while managing budgets constraints.
ABA Presentation-The U.S. Fiscal Trajectory: Causes and ConsequencesUrban Institute
The document summarizes the challenges facing US fiscal policy, including a troubling short-run fiscal path with high deficits and debt, and a frightening long-run fiscal path where rising healthcare costs and an aging population will drive up spending. While the economy is recovering, long-term reforms are still needed to address the growing budget gaps and reduce the risks of a catastrophic budget failure in the future. Recent bipartisan plans aim to reduce debt, but bolder reforms may be required to balance revenue and spending on a sustainable path.
The SEC staff issued 90 comments to 50 companies related to stock compensation between July 2015 and June 2016. The majority of comments (78%) related to financial statement presentation and disclosure. Over half (51%) of the comments were on S-1/DRS filings. The comments primarily focused on disclosure (49% of comments), accounting recognition (27%), and valuation (24%). Common disclosure issues included lack of transparency around valuation assumptions and changes. Recognition comments often addressed complex areas like expense recognition, tax accounting, and equity vs liability classification.
The document proposes updates to Massachusetts' stretch energy code to help achieve the state's climate goals. It recommends (1) tightening the residential stretch code to require Home Energy Rating System scores of 42 for gas heating or 45 for electric heating, (2) introducing a specialized opt-in stretch code defining "net-zero" buildings and requiring solar panels and electric readiness for gas buildings, and (3) updating the commercial stretch code with more stringent efficiency standards tailored to different building types to lower emissions cost-effectively. Public comments are sought on the straw proposal.
