Entry level understanding of FERC accounting and what it does for the cooperative and the ratepayer. What supervisors and managers need to know to about the finance, the budget, and basics about the financial statements. What entry level finance and accounting positions need to know about the finances and why. What every new employee needs to know about the finances of the cooperative they are working for.
Everyone has a role and responsibility to the success of the finances of your cooperative, and we will use group activities based on your role (supervisor/manager, new employee, finance and accounting support role, leadership position) to show how the everyday tasks and documents you are responsible for fit into the overall finances.
NOTE: WECA has offered the NRECA version (NRECA #5101.1; formerly MEC 655.1 & PD 255.1) in the past and is now offering Utility Financial Basics. Both programs "count" as credit in the ECLIPSE program.
This is an ECLIPSE approved CORE course. Anyone can take this course and is not limited to ECLIPSE participants.
