Description
Book SynopsisThis handbook was developed as a means for self-assessment to assist school business officials in determining the efficiency of the business office's planning, procedures, and operations. It does not include every possible procedure or task performed in the business office. It is intended, rather, as a broad-based checklist of those operations and procedures considered essential to the effective and efficient administration of school business activities. This document will serve as an excellent reference tool in the daily operations of the typical business office.
