CFO Series: Essential Cost Containment - 5 Tech & 3 [NT] - NEW! - Webcast
-
Online
8.0 Credits
Member Price: $310
We all want to make the organization more profitable, but do we do it the best way? Many simply hack away at costs and then repeat the same unwieldy process every eighteen months. Do our internal and external customers truly understand our numbers? There is a better way to communicate financial information, so they DO understand and take the proper actions. Building an effective team always results in improved performance, talent retention and reduces costs. We also discuss the ethics of creativity - is creativity good or bad or a mixed bag? We will discuss how, and specifically what, you can do to rein in costs and get the most from what the organization already has and remains ethical. These four sessions will help you become better at controlling the right costs and becoming more successful. This day of the CFO Series will focus on these four topics: Improving Profitability the Right Way: How to Cut the Right Costs Building High-Performing Teams: Cohesive Teams Get Results Do Creative Accountants Belong in Prison? Storytelling Your Financials for Impact: Narrative Beats Numbers OSCPA has partnered with the Idaho Society of CPAs for this event.

What were they thinking? Why do some people make horrible decisions that severely damage themselves and their organizations? It is tempting to assume that a poor choice must be due to a leader’s incompetence, inexperience, bad character, or low intelligence – but such easily attributed factors generally aren’t the true cause when leaders blunder. In such situations, many turn to finance and accounting professionals for evaluation, answers, remedies, and solutions for improved decision-making.

Surgent's Integrated Planning, Forecasting, and Budgeting for Organizational Success (4 hours)
-
Online
4.0 Credits
Member Price: $159
See more dates
Planning may be one of the most important assignments of the finance professional; however, it is often accomplished in a way that can harm the organization. In many cases, huge sums are spent only to have a planning document developed that does not serve to bring the company together, but rather causes internal division. In some situations the budget can actually harm both productivity and alignment. This course is designed to bring planning, budgeting, and forecasting together into one fully aligned process that is easier, more efficient, and fully engages all parts of the organization. Rather than the plan being owned by the finance department, it is owned and followed by everyone from the CEO to the entry-level employee.
