Understand Your Financial Health
“…long-term financial planning is an indispensable complement to traditional budgeting and an invaluable piece of a government’s overall planning framework. It provides a long-term and comprehensive financial perspective that is not available through other governmental planning processes.”
~ Government Finance Officers Association
