Summary:

This case illustrates some of the issues associated with organizing a finance/accounting office. The students are to assume that they have been hired by the City of Waterloo as a consultant to review its finance activity organizational structure and make recommendations as to how the finance and accounting activities should be organizationally structured. The case requires that the students understand the duties and responsibilities normally associated with an accounting and finance activity and the concepts associated with organizational structure and behavior, as well as how to apply these concepts. Other topics that can be addressed with this case are ethics, media coverage of government operations, balanced scorecard, and internal controls.
