Sound financial practices are crucial to managing scarce funds in the nonprofit sector. In this course, students examine finance and budgeting concepts, policies, and practices related to organizations as well as the fiscal climate within which they operate. Students learn about the theories underlying fiscal policy, and they read and analyze budgets, financial statements, and financial reports. They also explore and discuss related topics, such as auditing practices; financial relationships with government, donors, and other sources of revenue; financial management; budgetary reform; and financial technology systems. Students apply theories and concepts presented in the course to the development of budget and financial projects relevant to nonprofit organizations.
