Abstract	Even the best educational leaders can be unprepared for the responsibility of spending and accounting for the thousands of dollars that pass through school's books each year. Without a solid understanding of school financial management, administrators may find it a serious distraction from their primary pedagogical mission. They also risk damage to their careers and to the reputations of their schools. This book is a concise, practical desk reference, based on sound accounting principles and written specifically for professionals at the school level. Understandable guidance on the following critical topics is offered, but not limited to: (1) Activity Fund Safeguards; (2) Bookkeeping Basics; (3) Gifts to Students or Staff; and (4) Transfers and Adjustments. Featuring a comprehensive glossary of school financial management terms, graphic organizers to clarify complex accounting concepts, and a checklist for monitoring financial activities throughout the year, this book provides the information principals need to safeguard school funds and protect themselves--and their staffs--from the suspicion of theft or laxness. It also comes with a CD-ROM of downloadable financial forms that principals can use and disseminate in their own schools. Chapters in the book include: (1) Activity Fund Safeguards; (2) Admission Tickets; (3) Bank Reconciliation; (4) Bookkeeping Basics; (5) Credit/Purchasing Cards; (6) Employee Embezzlement; (7) Encumbrance of Funds; (8) Field Trips; (9) Fund-Raising Events; (10) Gifts to Students or Staff; (11) Online Purchasing and Electronic Banking Transfers; (12) Parent Organizations; (13) The Petty Cash Fund; (14) Raffles; (15) The School Budget; (16) The School Store; (17) Staff Reimbursement; (18) Surviving an Audit; (19) Transfers and Adjustments; and (20) Vending Services. The following are appended: (1) Financial Checklist for Principals; and (2) Financial Forms. A glossary of school accounting terms is included. (ERIC).
