Budget and Financial Management

Budget and Financial Management covers using budgeting and financial estimating methods and tools. Specifically, participants will address topics such as creating a budget, negotiating for funding, managing and reporting variance, and making decisions based on a budget.

Standard financial tools are also introduced, and participants explore how to assess financial status and to make sound business decisions. Participants will review and discuss commonly used financial metrics to not only understand the numbers, but to explore the not-so-obvious financial impacts of typical operating decisions and actions.
