Improving the Finance and Operations of Your School

BUSINESS/FINANCE MANAGERS Affinity Group

Share, capture and build on your learning as a community with Business Manager peers across NESA Schools.

The finance and operations are the backbone of any international school. If they are not organized well, it is difficult for the school to excel in other aspects.

During these two sessions, we will look at different practices in

• Managing Your Finance Committee;
• Budgeting and Forecasting;
• Setting and Presenting Your School Fees; and
• Communication, Reporting and Data Visualization.

These two sessions will involve breakout activities to generate peer-to-peer discussions to explore what practices fit well in different school contexts. The aim is to give participants insights and tools that they can use to improve finance and operational management at their school.
