Develop skills and capabilities for improved financial and performance management and decision making. Federal managers live today in a world of declining budgets and increasing performance expectations where each decision impacts budget and/or performance. They require "business intelligence" to effectively manage and make informed decisions affecting their programs and service to the American public. OMB and other oversight agencies are utilizing new techniques to evaluate agency and program performance. Learn how to provide financial and performance information in useful form for program managers and decision makers so that they anticipate OMB actions and effectively manage their program responsibilities. The analytical community must use new techniques to truly support the "business of government." The status quo just does not work any longer.
This course is also part of the Certificate of Accomplishment in Financial Management and the Certificate of Accomplishment in Program and Management Analysis. |
