The Budget Research Paper will
describe the knowledge, competencies,
and best practices of an effective
financial leader in education. The
Budget Research Paper should include
five areas: leadership in budget
development, the impact of staffing in
budget development, where an
organization gets revenue, key factors
that impact expenses, and the role of
focus and discipline on budgeting.

* Budget
Development
(excel
spreadsheet
and 2-3 page

project, your interview of a financial
leader, and the literature as supporting
documentation for how decisions
should be made and the role of a
financial leader in education. You may
draw from these assignments in this
class, but you may not copy them word
for word. Text that is found to be
copied in part or whole from previous
assignments in this or other courses will
be consider plagiarism and subject to
the academic integrity policy of the

Support your findings with a minimum

of 10 references. The paper must be
twenty (20) pages. The summary should
be written in APA format. References
should support each of the five areas
