1.1 Concepts of Budgeting (Rangimarie 2)
What are the things you might not be aware of that will increase your school’s revenue, ideas to help monitor the school's spending and when is it time to put the brakes on? Learn the process of budgeting to help you help your school outside of the spreadsheet and gain some real life budget theory to allow your school to reach its potential financially. A chance to share some of your tricks, software you use and reports.
Debbie Suckling, Orewa College
I have been the Finance Manager at Orewa College for past 15 years and look after both the financial and payroll requirements of the school, right through to the auditing stage. I work closely with our principal to ensure the school is working to achieve its charter goals for the Board and to keep the Board informed along the way. I help department heads look after their budgets and advise the senior management on spending within the school. I’ll help you gain some real life budget theory to allow your school to reach its potential financially.
