Impact Of Finance On Program Success

Impact of Finance on Program Success

(Impact Of Finance On Program Success)

Money is an important resource, but it is not the only resource that matters when it comes to program design and evaluation. In fact, having sufficient money, in itself, does not equate to having a quality program or even a financially successful one. Financial strategy dictates how money is spent and allocated. With this in mind, what are the most important considerations to bear in mind as you design your program?
To prepare:

  • Review      the financial analysis information presented in the Learning Resources.
  • Conduct      additional research of your own to further your understanding of use of      cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit. Feel free to share      resources that you find beneficial with your colleagues.
  • How      do these concepts apply to your program planning and help to facilitate      quality program outcomes?
