Nonprofit Finance for Nonfinancial Managers II
This course will assist you to strengthen your working knowledge of financial management for non-profit organizations. This course takes the student into a more in-depth look at some of the areas that are hot buttons in financial management.
Our topics and learning activities are targeted to enhance the knowledge of those in finance positions as well as those that are looking for a refresher. We will read and evaluate the importance of an operating budget and the impact of cash flow on a non-profit organization. We will spend time on capital budgeting and under the various types of projects that this can cover and the wide variety of ways that they can be financed. A very important area in finance is the use of data visualization. This allows individuals that are not familiar with financial statements the ability to understand what is happening within an organization. We will guide you through this process with pivot tables and dashboard creation over the course of 2 weeks. In the final week, the focus will be on the understanding and preparation of an audit and the management letter that accompanies it.
