Good financial management practices are a responsibility of a board of directors as well as that of a CAM, management firm, and/or managing entity.
The essential elements of a budget are described. The budget provides a basis to make necessary changes to ensure, as much as possible, that the association is staying within budgetary limits while working toward achieving the community association’s long-term goals and short-term objectives. -
