ACCT 210 | Optimal Budgeting for Nonprofits: From Process to Strategy

Overview

A budget is a realistic plan for the future expressed in monetary terms that reflects an organization’s programs, mission, and strategic plan.  Due to differing kinds and levels of complexity, each organization must develop a budget formulation process that meets its individual needs. During this course we will discuss the key elements of a good budget planning process.
