Financial Management in Cultural Organizations

Stable, effective organizations build their success on principles and
practices of sound financial planning, development, and management.
Using a business planning framework, this course  stresses financial
planning, forecasting, and reporting in all aspects of management. You
will develop your management skills and confidence through an
understanding of these topics:
 • the nature and values of museums and other cultural organizations
 • accountability
 • financial management cycles
 • budgeting and resource allocation
 • forecasting revenues and expenditures
 • internal controls, evaluation, and audit
 • management of revenue centres
 • legal and ethical issues
As you should be familiar with basic bookkeeping requirements and
procedures, these are  addressed through advance readings.
