Workshop Description:
This full day interactive
workshop is geared towards non-accountant participants who believe they
are “not-a-numbers-person” and provides the financial basics
necessary to understand organizational, program, and administrative
budgets which are essential to fulfilling the mission of their organization.
Attend this workshop
and focus on the tools one needs to develop, implement, monitor, assess
and revise a department/program budget of an organization. Throughout
the day, participants will benefit from a Case
Study of a small organization which
is implementing a new program to fulfill a current objective of its
strategic plan. You will also engage in a variety of Group
Exercises to experience the planning
process for a new program (budget development, budget assumptions),
assess the actual performance of the organization’s budget during
the budget year (program and administration), provide recommendations
on corrective action (if necessary) and suggest modifications to the
next year’s budget.
Helpful handouts and
resources will be provided for the participants to take back to their
organization and utilize “on the job”.
