Advanced Financial Management Series - Session 5: Staffing Your Program - Admin vs Activity Delivery Costs
Session 5 of 5 of TDA’s Financial Management Series
Programmatic oversight requirements are always expanding, and yet the administrative funds that can be used to pay staff for these activities never seem to be enough to cover the real costs agencies incur. For 90 minutes, we look at options for utilizing activity and project delivery to offset staff costs, and the practical considerations around time-tracking and staffing assignments.
