Speak your boss's language. Numbers are the language of business, and in these demanding times, we need to speak that language. Librarians are not accountants, but all directors and many other library managers work with budget and accounting systems. Attendees will learn about budget creation and control and be introduced to the accounting basics common to all organizations. The special accounting features of each type of organization in which librarians work will also be covered. This program is appropriate for directors, middle managers, or those hoping to become managers. No prior accounting, finance or mathematical knowledge is required.
