Synopsis

This book is a critical analysis of the organization and accounting procedures in the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation in Manhattan and Richmond in 1907. The author provides a detailed examination of the administrative structure, financial management, record-keeping, and purchasing practices of the department. The investigation serves as a case study for how to implement improvements to the accounting methods of a large city department. The author argues that reforms in public administration and financial management systems are essential for improving the efficiency of municipal services and making city governments more responsive to the needs of the people.
