Welcome to Fisken & Company
FISKEN FISCAL FACTS VOLUME 4
Dear Client/Colleague;
The purpose of this edition of the Fisken Fiscal Facts is to inform you that I will be conducting a Workshop on NPO(Non Profit Organization)Financial Management and to ask that you to attend or refer appropriate clients/colleagues that might benefit from attendance. Feel free to circulate this E-Mail to potential attendees.
The 2 day Workshop is entitled Introduction to Financial Management and will be held on Thursday 6 October and Friday 7 October, 2005 at the International Red Cross Conference Center located at 2025 E Street, NW in Washington DC. The building is located on E Street, between 20th and 21st Streets. The closest Metro stops are Farragut West and Foggy Bottom.
The Workshop is being sponsored by the Association of PVO Financial Managers (APVOFM). I have taught variations of this Workshop for 20+ years for a variety of sponsors including APVOFM, American University, George Washington University, and the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. In addition to myself there will be 3 other presenters dealing with the topics of: Preparation & Interpretation of NPO Financial Statements; Sarbanes Oxley implications for NPOs: and Preventing & Detecting Fraud in NPOs.
The topics that I will treat include:
- accounting language for NPOs
- model charts of accounts for NPOs
- indirect cost rates
- fringe benefit rates
- organizational budgeting
- project budgeting
- US Government grant compliance
Persons who would benefit most from this Workshop are: entry level accounting staff; mid-level accounting staff who wish to learn more about NPO accounting and US Government grant accounting; mid-level program staff who have budget responsibility; and all staff wishing to know more about calculating overhead rates that meet US Government standards.
