Overview

Learn practical ways to prepare your institution for an activity-based costing (ABC) model. During this training, we will walk you through how this model works, ways to assess your readiness to make this shift, and key considerations for the implementation process. You will leave better prepared to answer questions such as:

  • How is ABC being deployed for financial and academic decisions?
  • What’s the best way to determine cost/revenue drivers?
  • How can I prepare for the full ABC implementation cycle?
  • What are the system requirements for a successful ABC implementation?

Who should attend?
