ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING PRACTICES FOR TRANSPORTATION: AN ANALYSIS IN SIX STATES. VOLUME 1

The report provides the detailed findings of six states in the Transportation Accounting Consortium, identifying accounting problems experienced by small and rural transportation providers and the various state agencies administering transportation program funds. The states surveyed include Arkansas, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Attitudinal and factual surveys were completed on problems associated with the lack of uniform accounting, billing, auditing and program reporting. In general, many of the reported problems were closely tied to the multiplicity of federal funding sources and the resulting hinderances in developing coordinated transportation systems in a state.
