A new report from CLOSUP illustrates how data found in basic financial statements may be used to understand how Flint’s financial condition has changed over time. We draw on data from Flint’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports from FY 2000 to today (FY 2021) to calculate indicators that illustrate how different aspects of Flint’s finances have responded to changing internal and external circumstances. Taking this long-term perspective on Flint’s finances helps us see how fiscal stress manifests in different ways and helps us understand the effects of policy and management decisions.
