Weathering the Financial Storm:
Fiscal Accountability in a Tough Economy - Jon Horn
Our industry faces its greatest financial challenge in decades, yet university systems rarely track or report expenses in a business-like fashion. In some cases, programs that appear profitable may actually be costing your department thousands. Understanding your financials has never been more critical. This session proposes a model for translating university financial records into a more useful format, then analyzing the profitability of programs.
