Publisher's Synopsis
"No other textbook does a better job of providing public administration students with the financial skills, vocabulary, and knowledge that are necessary for successful careers in government, nonprofit, and health care."
-David Matkin, University at Albany - SUNY
Reflecting recent changes in accounting standards, this Sixth Edition of Financial Management for Public, Health, and Not-for-Profit Organizations provides a comprehensive yet practical introduction to the financial decision-making and management skills required of students and practitioners in the public, health, and not-for-profit sectors. Assuming that readers have no prior training in financial management, the authors artfully combine the principles, theory, and analytics of accounting and finance. In every chapter, a wide range of exercises, case studies, and problems help students develop strong financial assessment and judgment proficiencies while reinforcing the essential mechanics of accounting.
