I had asked if there were any Cities that had what they considered an up-to-date, comprehensive finance and accounting policy and procedures manual. Three responded that they were interested in any information I received; One said they were in the process of making one; One responded they had a treasury only manual; and One city suggested I check the CSMFO web site, as there are many good policies/procedures there. As to the last suggestion, I checked the web site and indeed found a wealth of information. I now realize my question was overly broad and that many of you (as we do) have policies in other than a "Finance Department Policy and Procedures Manual" such as City administrative policies, the adopted budget, Council policies/procedures or "stand alones" such as fixed assets, credit card usage, purchasing, etc.. My intent was more basic - a step-by-step description of each function (accounts receivable, collections, payroll, sewer billing, accounts payable, and accounting) for training purposes and for SOP guidelines. Thanks to all who responded! Michael Shelton Director of Finance El Cajon
