...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 a. Pick a small or medium-sized business that you know something about. Write a short description of the company followed by a plan of 3-4 sentences in which you describe how you would go about determining which of your products or services are not profitable. Conclude this part of your Executive Summary with a sentence or two to describe the impact on your clients or customers if you stopped offering the unprofitable product or service. Bose Corporation is an American privately held organization, based in Framingham, Massachusetts that specializes in audio equipment. Bose is best known for its loudspeakers, noise-cancelling headsets, and automotive sound system, other products manufactured by Bose include amplifiers and headphones. To determine which products are unprofitable, we need to perform a financial analysis on the products being sold. If there are too many products in a company then it is certain that some of them make no money at all. The most basic way to find this out is to sort and rank all the products showing total revenue, direct costs and gross profit for each product. This is an essential method to distinguish products that make superior profit with unprofitable ones. To figure out which services are unprofitable, list all the services, the cash collected from those services, and the time applied to the service. By dividing the cash collected by the total time applied gives me a very good estimation of the profitability of each service...

...Governance in Non-Profit Healthcare MGMT 640 Executive Summary Good leadership, financial management, and governance are the essentials for success in any organisation, whether the organisation is a non-profit organisation or a for-profit organisation. In non-profit healthcare the seamless interaction of all the parts makes the organisation successful as a whole. Service provided must be consistent with the goals of the organisation. Agencies and watchdogs have become even more visible seeking accountability and transparency. But how do leaders within the organisation work together to make it a success, how are they governed to achieve the goals of the organisation? In for-profit effective governance is easily recognisable, and achieved. The most important element in an organisation that operates for profit is its balance sheet, great sales and rising stock prices, profits being paid out as dividends, no mention of fraud in the company accounting, these are all excellent indicators of effective governance. In non-profits more so in healthcare, it is terribly difficult to measure or see effective governance. Also, the idea of optimum efficiency may have differing connotations for each stakeholder. Non-profits benefit from the luxury of not having to suffer agency conflicts; nevertheless they must ensure that there are measures in place that ensures transparency. Based on the five (5) overarching strategies suggested...

...questions. This includes the question of, “do we hold non-profit to a different standard than other companies?” Upon pondering this question and the broadness of it. The decision was made to write about it this week in an article summary. Only, where was I going to start on finding an article that could expand on this question without being too broad? After giving it some thought, I decided to do some research on whether or not government held non-profit organizations to a higher standard. For the sake of this article, I want to focus on whether or not government holds non-profit organizations to a different standard in terms of getting grants to fund such programs. After reading the article White House (n.d.) Guidance to Faith-Based and Community Organizations on Partnering with the Federal Government. Retrieved February 8, 2012 from http://www.ethicsinstitute.com. Every year, "the federal government" spends billions of dollars for health and human service programs. When it comes to non-profit, however, the government has made it difficult. There are a lot of bureaucratic and administrative obstacles. Starting with the fact that most program officers are often unfamiliar with the work that non-profit groups do. In August 2001, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives released a report. Unlevel Playing Field that identified many of the barriers that faith-based and non-profit organizations face in accessing Federal...

...The financial structures of health care entities non-profit, for-profit and government are different with funding, ownership, and type of services rendered. Financial managers, financial markets, and investors are the essential components that make up the financial world within a healthcare organization. Financial managers basically rely on investors to supply money through the financial markets when determining whether to use debt or use equity financing. To understand the full benefit of the financial resources, it is important to understand the overall financial structure. In other words how it is set up. In this paper, I will try to compare the financial environment of for-profit Pruitt Health Clinic, not-for-profit Phoebe Memorial Hospital, and VA Clinics. (to the best of my ability) In the health care sector entities regardless of their status (for-profit, not-for-profit, or government owned) should have the same common goal of providing quality healthcare to the residents of its community. Health care organizations are very different compared to other business when it comes to finances. The financial structure is described as the way funds are financed and the balance sheet shows what the organization looks like at a particular point in time. For example Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital will compare fiscal year to another fiscal year to decide what needs to stay, go or be “tweaked”. Some organizations have a method to reading the spread sheet as well. PPMH for...

...Comparative Summary Kristina O'Bryant HCS/577 May 23, 2016 Ronald Sugar Comparative Summary There are several financial environments that various entities exist in. These include for-profit, not-for-profit, and government organizations. These environments have many similarities, as well as differences. Examples of these may include the Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, which is a for-profit organization; the American Heart Association, which is a not-for-profit organization; and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which is a government organization. Each of these organizations has their own practices and policies unique to them. Not-For-Profit According to Investopedia (2016), a not-for-profit organization does not earn profits with the intent to line the pockets of an owner, but rather it is earned or donated and then used to achieve the goals or objectives of the organization. Many, but not all NFPs are charities or some other public service organization. NFPs are able to apply for a tax exempt status, as long as they meet certain criteria set by the state and federal government, thereby freeing them from most forms of taxation. Any donations that are made to the organization may be tax deductible for the person making the donation. According to Carter (2016), “Not-for-profit organizations raise capital by soliciting donations from businesses and individuals. Government and private grants may be used to fund the operation of a nonprofit organization. A not-for-profit...

These organizations have helped millions of people around the world by providing a great deal of valuable assistance and support via educational, scientific, charitable, legal, and many other means. An NPO is “a group organized for purposes other than generating profit and in which no part of the organization's income is distributed to its members, directors, or officers” (law.cornell.edu). Types of NPOs include volunteer service organizations, public charities and schools, public clinics and hospitals, political organizations, legal aid societies, labor unions, churches, research institutes, professional and environmental associations, museums, and some government agencies (law.cornell.edu). Some of the purposes service for these organizations include working for social change, to help people help themselves, and to fight for the civil rights of others. NPOs are a vital part of our nation’s economy, as they not only provide much needed public services to all concerned citizens and inhabitants of the U.S., they also provide millions of jobs for nation’s workforce. This essay will discuss the application of financial management techniques in NPOs. A comparison and contrast of nonprofit and for profit organizations (FPOs) will be examined while focusing on the fundamental differences between the two. How NPOs and FPOs are affected by different laws that...

...Financial Management of Health Care Organizations Latasha Rowell August 4, 2015 HCS/405 Conway Brew Financial Management In any business, financial managers should ensure that financial reporting practices and ethical standards are being met as well as maintained. These practices are vital in the financial success for any company, especially in health care finance. Within this paper, a summary of the four elements of financial management, generally accepted accounting principles, and general financial ethical standards will be discussed. Summary of the Four Elements of Financial Management There are four main financial statements of a profit earning organization. They include the balance sheet, the statement of revenue and expense, the statement of fund balance or net worth, and the statement of cash flows. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of what an organization's owns and owes. This is displayed as assets and liabilities. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of a company’s net worth. The income statement provides an overview of the financial flow of an organization. This report is commonly extracted for a specific period of time rather than a single point in time. This statement is most often utilized in an audited financial report on a quarterly and annual basis. The statement of net worth calculates the non-operating expenses and allows the income statement to tie back to the balance sheet when the three statements are prepared for the same point in time...

...Comparative Summary M W HCS/577 February 24, 2014 Comparative Summary According to Finkler & Ward (2006), “health care is an enormous part of the US economy, representing 17% of all personal consumption expenditures annually” (p. 7).

...of your time? In my opinion any endeavor, especially those in regards to non-profit organizations and for the purpose of raising money is always worthy of my time. I feel that any time spent helping others, no matter in which way, is worthy of anybody’s time. The advantages; which may be emotional, personal, mental, physical, and spiritual in nature, of working in the nonprofit sector far outnumber the disadvantages. Perhaps the best advantage is that it simply feels right to you, right now, to work for something you believe in deeply. 2. Is this an appropriate use of company time? Now, whether or not the time is an appropriate use of company time is another matter. One could say that doing this side project falls under “public relations” and it’s represents a good image for the airline. The dilemma lays in the fact that the project was brought to you by your boss, rather than the airline. Although she is your boss, your manager does not represent the airline as a whole and shouldn’t be establishing any sort of organizations, even if they are non-profit, with company assets or time. Now if the airline decided to establish a non-profit organization, that would be different, versus having your boss come up to you and ask you. 3. Does this situation represent a conflict of interest? I believe this situation is a conflict of interest, a conflict occurs when an individual or an organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly damage the...
