Free SB 827 Mandatory Fiscal Training — Exclusively for CALAFCO Members

As a CALAFCO member, you have free access to a high-quality training that satisfies your SB 827 mandatory fiscal training requirement — a benefit CALAFCO has secured on your behalf.

About the Training

Senate Bill 827, effective January 1, 2026, requires covered local agency officials to complete mandatory fiscal and financial training every two years. Newly appointed or hired officials must complete the training within six months of taking office.

CALAFCO has partnered with Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) and public finance professionals from Regional Government Services (RGS) to bring you a webinar that not only satisfies SB 827 compliance requirements but delivers practical, real-world guidance you can apply immediately.

Topics covered include:

• Fiscal oversight responsibilities
• Budget development, financial policies, and long-term fiscal planning
• Financial reporting, auditing, and internal controls
• Capital financing, debt management, and revenue mechanisms
• Pensions, other post-employment benefits, and financial risk management
• Cash management and investments
• Financial considerations related to procurement and contracting

This training is ideal for appointed officials, executives, department heads, and any staff with fiscal responsibilities — including anyone newly assuming a role that requires SB 827 compliance.
