Abstract: Citizen-Centric Report: Governmental Accounting for the Everyday Citizen seeks to prove the importance and need for Citizen-Centric Reporting to aid citizens at both a city and state level. Citizen-Centric Reporting is essential for creating governmental financial literacy in citizens across the nation and can be implemented without spending an abundance of neither time nor money. Utilizing my experience in the creation of a Citizen-Centric Report for Alexandria Virginia and my presentation of the report for Alexandria at the Association of Governmental Accountants 2012 Leadership Conference, I seek to promote the Citizen-Centric Report and highlight its many merits. While the Citizen-Centric Report is derived from the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), the goal of the Citizen-Centric Report is not to replace the CAJFR. Instead, the Citizen-Centric Report aims to serve as a complement to the CAFR reaching an audience the CAFR could not resonate with.
