Editorial Reviews

Review

The Basics of Public Budgeting and Financial Management offers basic budgeting and financial management skills that can be easily grasped by undergraduates, graduates, and practitioners. It is a great tool for helping students understand budgeting from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Not only are students provided with a rich understanding of theory, they are given hands-on experience with developing, justifying, and defending budgets, all of which are integral to bridging theory and practice.
Each chapter contains questions that require application of the materials learned as well as exercises to help students improve their analytical, decision-making, and written communication skills. The book also provides partially filled Excel spreadsheets which are instrumental in providing students an opportunity to acquire experience in revenue estimation and budget preparation. Last, the book is accompanied with power point presentations and an instructor’s manual which further makes the course easier to teach. (LaShonda M. Stewart, assistant professor, Southern Illinois University Carbondale)

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn the Basics of the Governmental Budgeting Process

This was one of the textbooks used for a Governmental Budgeting and Finance course I completed as a Public Administration student. This is a great book that well explains the aspects of the budgeting process for city, county, and state governments. Menifield also well explains the step by step process of developing a budget. This book is a keeper for the Public Administration library.
