Workshop: Linking Accounting to Program Success
Description
Program success has closer ties to accounting than one might think. We’ll provide you with the tools and skills to connect your accounting data directly to your program success. Closer linking will bring benefits in reporting, staff morale, efficiency, and program delivery. Applications include capital expenses, grant management, and marketing/out-reach.
Organizations are often challenged in connecting their governance and visionary work with the day to day activities due to a lack of staff time. Effectively use data already collected (without duplication!) to reduce time, increase transparency, and improve decision making.
