FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
By Mr. Wilcox
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #7100 - OAKLAND COUNTY FINANCIAL REPORT "ENTERPRISE FUNDS"
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gi-ntlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed the present budgeting and financial reporting procedures
as they apply to the enterprise funds.
The Finance Committee has also reviewed the possible means of reporting the enterprise funds
on a more informative basis. The proposed (BACIS) Budget Accounting Information System program will
allow us capabilities of using the same budget reporting process for the enterprise funds as will be
used for the regular budgeted departments.
The Finance Committee has directed the Management and Budget Department to incorporate these
enterprise funds on the new system as quickly as possible during 1976.
Mr. Chairman, I move the acceptance of this fiscal report.
