A 1-Hour Lunch & Learn Training with Melissa Kelleher
Virtual Via Zoom | 11:30am-12:30pm
Presentation: Join us for a comprehensive finance session designed to enhance your understanding of state budgeting processes, storytelling with numbers, and ensuring alignment between budgets and narratives. This session will provide a detailed review of state contract budget line items and strategies for expending funds to achieve successful contractual outcomes. Participants will learn best practices in budget revisions, including when they are appropriate, when amendments are necessary, and how to navigate encumbrances and carryover between fiscal years. We will also explore maintaining fiscal integrity ratio requirements and avoiding common pitfalls. Members of the finance team will be on hand to share real-world examples and answer vendor questions.
Because space is limited, individuals must register for sessions separately.
This training is financed under a contract with the State of NH, Department of Health and Human Services, with funds provided in part by the State of NH and/or such funding sources as were available or required, e.g., the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
