Mountain Musical Theatre Company: Making a Statement
內容大綱
The Mountain Musical Theatre Company (MMTC), located in Great Falls, Montana, was an important part of the local cultural scene. For many years, MMTC had performed a wide variety of shows that had been much enjoyed by local and visiting patrons, and it would have been easy to assume that the organization was a great success. However, significant organizational and financial problems had been brewing inside MMTC. In September 2015, these problems came to a head. The organization did not have formal financial statements, and the absence of these had recently led to major disagreements between MMTC’s leadership team and its board of directors. The recently appointed board chair did not know if MMTC was making or losing money. Although she feared the consequences could be serious, the board chair needed to ensure that financial statements for MMTC were created and analyzed to determine the truth about the organization’s financial situation.
