"Frameworks for Success: Business Planning and Financial Management"
March 5-10, 2001 at the University of Victoria

Skills to manage all aspects of museums and their programs in business-like
ways are essential in this day and age. This lively and interactive course
stresses the central role of systematic business and financial planning and
develops your management abilities through a practical examination of:

- business planning as a framework for setting goals,
priorities, and strategies
- financial management cycles, budgeting, and resource
allocation
- forecasting revenues and expenditures
- internal controls, evaluation, and audit
- legal and ethical issues

As you should be familiar with basic bookkeeping techniques, this topic is
addressed through advance readings.
