Welcome to the Club: Small Issuer Compliance
Governments that infrequently issue debt and/or issue small amounts have unique challenges in the market and in handling their debt management program, yet they face the same reporting requirements as larger, more frequent issuers. This session will review GFOA’s best practices that focus on key elements for small governments, as well as market factors and practices that have traditionally been beneficial to this population of issuers.
Speakers will provide strategies to assist small governments with their financing decisions, share lessons learned from case studies of other governments, and help participants better understand the options that may exist, along with their relative advantages and disadvantages compared to going into the market alone.
Learning Objectives
Gain an understanding of debt management best practices for small and/or infrequent debt issuers.
Develop ways to address numerous responsibilities related to debt issuance and ongoing management.
Identify financing options available to smaller governments and/or infrequent debt issuers.
