Webinar | Improving Financial Reporting for Water Infrastructure Facilities

Join this webinar to hear a unique case study of the West Basin Municipal Water District’s experience managing their primary facility assets. Margaret Moggia, Executive Manager of Finance for the West Basin Municipal Water District, will share how the District leveraged their Operations Department’s efforts in asset management.  This allowed the District to improve their financial reporting of capital assets by developing a way to componentize its existing water facility assets with the appropriate useful life, and remove certain duplicate assets.  In addition, you will learn best practices related to asset management developed by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), and how to use asset management practices to boost partnership and regionalization efforts.
