FINANCE & BUDGETING
22.10.98
INTRODUCTION
This workshop is intended for staff in library and information units who
have responsibility for managing their own budgets, but who have
received little or no previous financial skills training. It will be
very practical and participants will be expected to carry out a range
of exercises including understanding and interpreting financial
statements, using financial information to assist in strategic planning
and making a case for capital expenditure.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
to help information and library staff to understand, interpret, and
present financial information
to provide experience in developing and controlling budget
to provide practical help in developing costing methods
to assist participants to obtain value for money from their suppliers
and to examine and challenge costs and recharges
to allow exchange of ideas and experience
NB: As the course includes a number of practical exercises involving
work with figures, please bring a calculator with you. It would also be
helpful to bring examples of your existing financial reports and
records.
