Write a three to four-page report on the CAFR and a separate three to four-page report on the NFP. Relate topics from our course to your entity. The CAFR is your main resource for your government entity and Form 990 is the resource for your NFP.

Prepare an eight slide PowerPoint presentation based on each report. the CAFR report, the NFP report, and the two PowerPoint presentations. This is a total of 4 documents, 2 for the municipality and 2 for the NFP. Your municipality may be at the local or state level.

The presentation should be no more than 10 slides. It is helpful to use the Snip-It Tool to include information from the actual CAFR or NFP material, but these do not count as ‘space’ or slides. Items you create, including small charts, count as space and slides.

The reports should be single-spaced with double spacing between paragraphs. Use one-inch margins. The font should be 12 points. Use headings related to topics in our class.

Page count does not include copy and paste text or displays (such as a balance sheet).
