Municipalities, counties, school districts, authorities, special districts and other governmental entities have the authority, under the statutes, to issue long-term and short-term debt. General obligation bonds, bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes are frequently issued by governmental entities.

In connection with the issuance of debt, governmental entities are required to issue Official Statements, the purpose of which is to provide certain information relating to the issuance of the debt instruments, as well as information on the governmental entity and its financial position.

Due to the complexity of the laws and regulations that are relative to the issuance of municipal debt, Bowman & Company LLP has established a formal sub-department within the Governmental Services Department to provide our clients with the highest level of expertise available to our clients. We have professionals who are not only experienced in the preparation of Official Statements, but who will also interact with other professionals such as bond counsel and rating agencies.
