Financial management is a core function within the management of cultural and arts organizations. It is the foundation upon which the resources (human, physical, and financial) of any organization are maintained and monitored. In the nonprofit sector, the relationship of "mission to money" is an important conceptual framework, and must be understood by arts managers. Financial analysis is an essential requisite for sound strategic planning and governance, and managers of nonprofit arts organizations are the source of financial information. AAD 370: Financial Management for Arts Organizations II is the second of the two financial management courses that will guide students through the key conceptual areas of financial management. Part II includes creating mission-driven budgets, developing cost-benefit analyses, managing cash flow, endowment and capital management, and understanding the use and purpose of economic impact studies.
