Welcome to NC Finance Connect:
A Resource Hub for Local Government Finance Professionals
With the revamped NC Finance Connect we aim to help NC local government finance professionals, particularly those in smaller units, learn the basics of budgeting, expenditure authority, revenues, fiscal management, and internal controls. The site also provides resources to help finance staff implement required processes.
Your dedication to sound financial management directly impacts the quality of life in our communities. Explore, learn, and connect as we continue to elevate local government finance in North Carolina. We welcome your input as we further refine and improve the resources on this site.
Understand and Implement
The primary purpose of this resource hub is to help local government finance professionals learn the basics of local government and local government finance. NC Finance Connect houses the NC Local Government Finance Policy Manual, which provides detailed information about legal, regulatory, and accounting requirements and provides sample policies, ordinances, and other implementation tools.
To complement the policy manual, the site includes other resources such as the “Finance in Five” video series, which break down complex financial concepts into digestible, informative segments and blog posts, which keep you updated on new laws and regulations and highlight other common issues.
Connect and Collaborate
Engage with your peers and stay informed about the latest developments in local government finance through our finance listserv. This invaluable resource allows you to tap into the collective wisdom of fellow finance professionals and access historical discussions and insights.
Learn and Advance
Stay ahead in your career by exploring our curated list of courses and conferences. We provide convenient links to detailed course descriptions and registration information, ensuring that you never miss an opportunity to expand your skills and network with your peers.
