[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Few thoughts…. You have to understand that the federal government is like a big checkbook. Much of the time, they are concerned with budget formulation. The rest of the time, budget execution. And repeat. So, understanding federal budgeting and accounting can be a valuable skill. It’s a bit different from ordinary accounting. If you want to serve from the contracts side, consider augmenting technical skills with soft skills. The govt is huge and there is a certain inertia at play that prevents change. So some understanding of organizations and organizational change management - which is very rare - would set one apart. This can also put one on a path to more traditional consulting.[/quote] To understand federal budgeting and accounting, would you recommend accounting in a government position first? [/quote]
