Strategic Spending Executive Seminar: Intelligent Funds Management in Challenging Times (FINC9005)

Description:

This one-day seminar is essential for Executives and Resource Managers to intelligently direct the best use of federal money when decisions are the toughest, and funding challenges are the greatest. Federal agencies endure times when funds are scarce, including: at year-end; during continuing resolutions; and, when programs, projects and activities run into technical, management or financial difficulties. How do we predict, prevent, prepare and decide during these tough times? What legal alternatives and actions are available offer the “best” outcomes? This course explores strategic approaches to federal financial management challenges; suggestions to prevent financial crises (including personal liability), and to mitigate impact of financial crises. Strategic alternatives and specific approaches are suggested through the financial cycle to the final disbursement of funds.

Who Should Attend?

Federal executives, decision makers and managers who have direct responsibility and accountability for planning and spending federal funds to meet mission objectives.
