The Greene County Office of Accounts and Budgets, is responsible for accounting and
budgeting for all county offices, except for the Board of Education. This responsibility includes making sure the county books are kept in compliance with all state and local rules and regulations and in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). This office works closely with the Budget Committee, the Insurance Committee, and the County Commission in all areas of finance.

All annual budgets, except for the Board of Education, are coordinated and prepared in this
office and each budget is monitored throughout the year to make sure every office operates
within the guidelines of the adopted budget. The final budget document for Greene County
including the schools is coordinated and published by this office.

This Office manages all debt for the county including the issuance, retirement, and
refinancing. Currently, the County has an “Aa3” debt rating by Moody’s Rating System for both general obligation debt and education debt.
