FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS
If managers of cultural organizations are to foster strong and creative
environments for programs, they must build on a sound understanding of the
principles and practices of financial planning, development, and management.
Using the framework of the business plan, this course  stresses the role of
financial planning, forecasting and reporting in all aspects of management,
and develops your financial management abilities through a practical
examination of:
>>      the nature and values of non-profit cultural organizations
>>      accountability
>>      financial management cycles
>>      budgeting and resource allocation
>>      forecasting revenues and expenditures
>>      internal controls, evaluation and audit
>>      operating procedures
>>      management of revenue centres and box offices
>>      inventory control
>>      legal and ethical issues
As you should be familiar with basic bookkeeping techniques, this topic is
addressed through advance readings.
