| Abstract | A workbook for financial self-assessment of small, private colleges is presented, along with information on the field testing stage. Eight small private colleges helped develop the workbook, which is intended to assist trustees, presidents, and business officers evaluate financial strengths and weaknesses of the school. Included is a checklist of necessary evaluations and a guide for interpreting the evaluations. The theory and framework of the evaluation process are described, and attention is focused on the first step of the evaluation: examination of easily calculated statistics. The statistical calculations are explained step-by-step, and definitions are provided to facilitate data gathering. The format also covers the value of the statistics and provides space for the eventual presentation of data on peer group institutions for comparison purposes. The statistics provide information on financial strength, estimated risk, changes affecting financial resources, and changes in nonfinancial resources. Financial strength for the long-term involves calculations on endowment market value and operating expenses, while the intermediate-term calculations involve available fund balances and operating expenses, and short-term calculations concern current fund assets and liabilities.
