Research paper needed

 This  week, you will take the next step in developing your final project. You should  continue your research and begin writing about the information (demographic and  policy) available in the budgets and in the literature. Also, create any budget  tables, graphs, or charts to visually show the information you find important to  accompany your written text.    

You  should conduct background research on the selected entities by securing the  budgets and beginning the literature review. You will be able to view links of  different reports in order to get a better idea of how your final report should  look. List the Web sites or  periodicals you will be using. You will  compare the budgets of two municipalities (cities) or nonprofit agencies.  Therefore, you must obtain copies of the budgets for the cities or agencies,  which are generally available online. The purpose of this project will be to  see how funds are distributed among the agencies within the entities in order to  determine the priorities.   For  this week, create a 5- to 6-page paper of content to include the following: The  background research of the entities and reporting on their budgets, comparing the two selected entities (city or non-profit). Include  the Web sites and periodicals to be used and indicate the research conducted  from these sources. The  literature review as part of the final project paper, illustrating what other  sources are researching relative to city or non-profit budgets. Summary  on the information you collected that will be integrated into the analysis  section of the final report using APA style.
