Pop Quiz: How Financially Literate Are You?

What do you know about County finances? Take the three-question quiz below to find out. Don’t worry; we let you guess a second time. Did you get one answer correct? Two? Or all three?

The questions were part of a longer informal quiz given at a County Financial Literacy Training held last week at the County Operations Center.

The course was designed for County employees at every level of the organization to gain a better understanding of how public finance is conducted. The curriculum covered the County’s financial planning process, terms and policies, and how to read useful reports and graphs.

Andrew Pease, Finance Director for the Health and Human Services Agency, called the class “financial literacy for non-financial folks.” Participants from each of the five groups attended the engaging training session.

“It’s an opportunity to get an overview. It’s an opportunity to ask questions,” Pease said. “And it’s an opportunity to learn and contribute.”

The Finance and General Government Group plans to hold the Financial Literacy Workshop quarterly. Keep your eyes open for an email announcing that registration is open. Anyone interested in a basic knowledge of financial planning or interest in working in public finance will benefit from the short session.
