It’s their money—not yours—and you have to tell them how you spent it!  
​Financial reporting requirements for fire protection districts is the subject of the next IAFPD webinar on fire district finances.  All fire protection districts are required to prepare various financial reports each year.  These requirements can change year to year as districts’ finances change.  The reporting requirements can be confusing and hard to understand.  This session will sort out the various reports, when they are required, what they must contain, when they are due, and where they have to be filed or published.
