Presentation by Stuart Etherington, NCVO Chief Executive looking at how voluntary and community sector organisations can respond to the current economic climate.
The document discusses the impact of economic downturns on the charity sector and provides recommendations for how charities can plan and respond. It notes that while income streams may decline, charitable giving has proven resilient in past recessions. Smaller charities are more vulnerable due to limited reserves. The document recommends that charities focus on their mission, plan for various scenarios, monitor their finances closely, prioritize staff and partnerships, and look for opportunities to collaborate or merge with other organizations. Planning ahead and utilizing available guidance and services can help charities manage through turbulent economic times.
The document summarizes recommendations for nonprofits during an economic recession based on a study by the Nonprofit Finance Fund of 6,500 mid-sized nonprofits during the 2001 recession. The study found that over 40% of nonprofits reported deficits from 2001-2003 as expenses grew faster than revenues. Recommendations include reviewing cash and investment risks, avoiding unsustainable spending, engaging in contingency planning, diversifying revenue sources, and asking tough questions about programs, finances, and operations.
The document discusses several types of business crises including starting, cash flow, delegation, leadership, financial, prosperity, and management succession crises. It provides causes and recommendations for how to prevent or overcome each type of crisis. Key advice includes thorough planning, developing management teams, effective delegation, consultation with experts, succession planning, and being adaptive to changes.
The document discusses managing a client's debt and home equity in an optimal way. It emphasizes creating congruent goals for debt repayment and investments to maximize growth over the long term. A key part of managing debt involves understanding a client's specific needs and life goals, regularly reviewing rates and market trends, and finding opportunities to consolidate debt at lower rates.
Finance refers to deciding how to spend money, as opposed to accounting which tracks money spent. Finance uses cash, time value of money, and risk to evaluate investments and their return on investment (ROI). ROI tools include payback period, internal rate of return, and net present value, but rely on estimates and projections that are open to manipulation. Political and self-interest factors also influence financial decisions. When proposing new investments, clinicians should frame the argument in terms of investment and ROI, using simple projections to estimate increased cash flow and an internal rate of return over 5% to make the strongest financial case. Hospital revenue is regulated in Maryland, aiming to include costs of uninsured in rates paid by insured. As reimbursement is fixed per
The document discusses leadership challenges in uncharted economic times. It summarizes a workshop on leadership in uncharted territory that was attended by over 25 business leaders. A keynote speaker observed that while debt crisis posed challenges, leaders also face shifting economic power to the East, changing work and consumer behaviors, sustainability issues, and more formal business relationships. The document advocates for adaptive leadership, where leaders challenge assumptions to address difficult problems. Workshop groups discussed case studies and were challenged to assess business challenges, strategic priorities, capabilities needed, and action plans. Lessons highlighted having clarity of purpose, focus, courage to address realities, taking time to focus on direction, and engaging and mobilizing others around clear priorities.
Maximizing Shareholder Value in the Print and Graphics Communications Industr...jhyde
This document summarizes options for owners of successful printing and graphic communications companies to maximize shareholder value, including private equity, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), and strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It provides an overview of the characteristics of companies and owners that are ideal candidates for these options, and discusses factors for success and aligning objectives with potential buyers.
Mezzanine finance sits between senior debt and equity in a company's capital structure. It can take the form of subordinated debt or preferred equity. Subordinated debt typically has a yield of 12-17% consisting of a current coupon of 10-12% plus additional paid-in-kind interest or equity warrants. Preferred equity has an even higher risk but yield of 20-24% paid as PIK dividends plus warrants. Mezzanine financing allows companies to take on more leverage than with senior debt alone, with the mezzanine investor positioned ahead of common equity but below senior lenders in the capital structure.

George A. Liyeos gave a presentation about managing public/private partnership projects that have run into difficulties. He discusses factors to consider when deciding whether to continue efforts to save a failing project, such as legal entanglements, financial impacts, political costs, and developing an exit strategy to end the project gracefully if needed. He also outlines signs to monitor the "vital signs" of the project and determine if recovery is possible or if it is time to abandon the project and start over with a new partner.

-Economic realities for charities nationwide and locally
-What to do (and not do) when a donor says, "I can't contribute now"
-How to find the "oasis in the desert" - 7 practical strategies for successful fundraising
This document discusses the power of compound interest for savings and investments. It explains that compound interest is earned on both the principal amount and any accumulated interest over time. This leads to much higher returns compared to simple interest, where interest is only earned on the principal. The document uses online calculators and examples to demonstrate how factors like investment amounts, interest rates, and length of time impact the total return through compounding. It emphasizes that starting to save earlier and allowing interest to compound for longer periods can significantly increase the overall growth of savings and investments.
This document summarizes various topics related to finance opportunities, corporate finance functions, responsibilities of finance staff, trends and challenges, and goals of corporations.

Specifically, it provides examples of finance career opportunities for postgraduates, outlines the typical organization of a corporate finance department, and lists the primary duties of finance staff like accounting, budgeting, auditing, and forecasting. It also discusses current issues in financial management like technology and regulations. Further, it states that the main goals of corporations are usually profit and market dominance. Finally, it defines an agency relationship as one where an agent represents a principal, and an agency problem as a conflict of interests between the two parties.

The document advocates for long-term investing using diversification and discipline over reliance on forecasts.
This document provides an overview of Session III of the book "Money Talk: A Financial Guide for Women". It covers the following key points:
1. Setting financial goals is important for measuring investment success. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and have a time period.

3. When investing, one can either loan money through debt investments like bonds or own investments through equity like stocks. Equity investments fluctuate more but can provide higher
For effective governance, boards must set a stronger toneGrant Thornton LLP
The document discusses several key issues facing not-for-profit boards and governance in 2015. It states that boards must take a stronger role in fundraising and setting the tone for ethical standards and practices. Effective boards require strong leadership from both the board chair and CEO.

Corporate managers have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the company over the long term. One of the characteristics of a corporation is that its existence is not tied to a specific owner or partner and it should continue to operate past any one manager or CEO. A corporation’s current stock value can fluctuate a great deal from day to day for a number of reasons. News reports related to political issues, actions by foreign governments, sales forecasts, and predictions of production costs or prices can all have a significant effect on the current stock price of a company. The stock price may not be an accurate representation of the company’s long term profitability or actual performance. A large component of the market value is analysts’ expectations of the company’s cash flows and performance, not necessarily the actual performance. Manager’s primary focus should be on creating and maximizing wealth for the shareholders of the corporation (Byrd, Hickman, McPerson, 2013). Their goal should be creating that wealth in the long term with real revenues and profits, not attempting to reach a short term stock price. A focus on the short term and stock prices can lead to unethical business decisions and a distorted account of the company’s performance. An emphasis on the market price can decrease shareholder value, create misguided incentives for managers, and generate dishonesty in executives (Denning, 2011). A strategy that emphasizes long term profitability and growth is in the best interest of shareholders, executives, and customers.

This is an interesting discussion post for me. In a hospital setting, long term goals are so vital to sustainability, as billing for procedures and reimbursement take a few months to get on the books. So for my current state, I would say short term profit are important to keep at the forefront, but to not get discouraged if the value drops for a timeframe as you can forecast what should be coming in. Personally it seems that the short term feeds into the success of the long term. Short term goals allow me to adjust quicker in order to help save the bottom line of a long term goal. Our organization is switching from a normal budget to a real time financial planning. This is in hopes to make decisions that affect the now, in a timely fashion, before it negatively affects the long term goals. This is our first quarter of such a program, so we shall see how this new st ...
Using Behavioral Economics to Unlock Workforce Engagement James Sillery
In an interview, an executive said the following, "Today, the greatest challenge that a company can face is a lack of engagement… and not to be aware of the situation". But on average, the majority of employees in any given company are, to some degree, disengaged. This presentation, given at the TCHRA Spring Conference, looks at the underlying causes and presents practical solutions.

C Gallegos Regional Philanthropy Conference Sept 2015 v2cristinainger
Cristina Gallegos gave a presentation on understanding what foundations want and effectively raising money from them. She explained that foundations are social investors and provided tips for non-profits to attract their funding. Some key points included differentiating your approach from your goals, rethinking proposals to focus on genuine connections over just submissions, understanding what motivates and discourages funders, and shifting one's paradigm to leverage existing resources and partnerships rather than focusing solely on raising new funds. Her overall message was that foundations want to feel inspired by an organization's impact and authenticly connected to its work.
Pay for Today (and Tomorrow): Compensation in the Nonprofit Sector (DC)Church Pension Group
Lately, it seems that any sentence containing the words "nonprofit" and "compensation" is related to the scrutiny of pay provided to the presidents and other top executives of organizations. However, for most nonprofit organizations, far more compensation dollars are paid to the broader, non-executive employee population. My presentation from the October 2010 Nonprofit Human Resources Conference in Washington, DC focuses on prevailing practices and emerging trends regarding compensation in the nonprofit sector, including the impact of internal and external influences.
The document summarizes 7 trends reshaping the financial services industry according to Geraldine Leder in June 2009. These trends include: 1) A populist backlash against the wealthy eroding trust in large financial institutions. 2) Broken trust and compromised values in the industry as customer satisfaction declines. 3) More cost-conscious clients reconsidering traditional financial advice models and taking matters into their own hands. 4) An impending heavy tax burden that will reshape wealth management habits. 5) Emerging winners and losers in different distribution models within the industry. 6) The growing influence of digital technologies and social media. 7) Opportunities for firms that use the economic crisis to reinvent their business models and become more client-centric.

1. The document discusses how maintaining employee engagement can help companies beat a bear market. It provides strategies for keeping employees motivated and productive during an economic downturn.
2. Five key differentiators are identified that successful companies focus on: setting a clear direction, open communication, career development, recognition, and well-being.
3. Engaged employees are linked to better business outcomes like customer loyalty and retention, lower turnover, and higher productivity. Maintaining engagement can improve a company's bottom line during difficult economic times.
Canys Leadership Development Conferenceguest6aa6df0
The document discusses strategies for chambers of commerce to better serve their members. It suggests that chambers should focus on the four key things members want: economic opportunities, advocacy, impact, and focus. Chambers are encouraged to capitalize on their knowledge resources, build strategic alliances, and refocus on their mission and goals through strategic planning. This will help chambers transform and provide maximum value to their members.
Accounting standards provide constraints on how companies report financial information, but these constraints are soft due to the ability of companies to redesign contracts, transactions, and organizations. This creates an asymmetric game where companies can optimize their financial reporting through financial engineering while accounting standards attempt to keep up through revised rules. However, accounting rulebooks continue growing in complexity as new workarounds are found. The interaction between financial reporting optimization and accounting standards setting lacks a stable equilibrium.
