Homework
Length: 3 to 5 pages (~1,000 to 1,800 words).
These reports concentrate on forms, not transactional accounting. These papers require research outside the class environment. These papers serve in part as an introduction to the topics of government accounting, which is why they are required prior to work on more detailed accounting and rules.
