A graduate of the University of Texas, Williams is known throughout the state as an expert in commercial and industrial roofing techniques.

Municipalities are an interesting group for financial students to study. The calculations needed to determine what money can be spent for which project isn't always as cut and dried as the media makes it out to be. If a bond is raised for capitol improvements in a school district, that money can only be spent on buildings. While some citizens think that money should not be spent for buildings when teachers are underpaid, an amount of the funds given to school districts and other government bodies must be spent on building repairs and the other projects it is allotted for, not the ones that are popular.Strict accounting of funds spent and handles by each office and clerk in a governmental position can help ensure that embezzlement does not occur and that a record is available in the eventuality of an audit.

These bonds are subject to reviews every five years in addition to random audits generated through the Service.Crossover in different fund accounts cannot co-mingle or be combined. This sounds more difficult than it is, if a strict accounting is made. We are blessed to...more
