NCMA - FY 05 STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES  AND COMMENTARY FOR NOVEMBER 2004
PART A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The results for November are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 263,720 223,543 40,177
Expenses 266,852 261,370 (5,482)
Net Income - pre investment income (3,132) (37,827) 34,695
The favorable variance in November revenue results from better than budgeted performance in Group Memberships, NES seminars, Learning Center, NCMA
Jobs.com, CM Magazine and Website advertising. These favorable variances are partially offset by lower Regular and Corporate Membership, Audio Seminars,
and e-Learning.
The adverse variance in November expenses is primarily the result of higher computer management expenses, temporary accounting assistance, and higher
variable costs associated with higher revenues. These higher costs are partially offset by the deferral of certain Membership, Certification and e-Learning costs
 
The Year to Date results are summarized as follows:
Actual Budget Variance
Revenues 1,514,911 1,505,792 9,119
Expenses 1,555,899 1,624,787 68,888
Net Income - pre investment income (40,988) (118,995) 78,007
Year to date revenues while close to budget incorporate a shortfall in both the ADC revenues in July and Commercial Contracting revenues in
September. This shortfall has been partially offset by better than budgeted Magazine advertising, NCMA Jobs.com revenues and Audio Seminar revenues.
Year to date expenses are lower than budgeted for the following reasons:
Lower ADC conference variable costs
Lower Commercial Contracting Conference variable costs
Deferral of budgeted costs in Certification and lower Certification Board costs
Later than  planned start date for new Chief Knowledge Officer (Education) and Designer (Communications)
Deferral of e-Learning product launch
Lower than budgeted Board of Director meeting expenses
Deferred membership costs (Chapter manual, Certificates)
These lower costs have been partially offset by:
Journal printing costs
Higher than budgeted computer system and internet management costs
Additional accounting assistance for the period of the Accounting Manager's maternity leave
Higher variable costs on CM Magazine, Website, NES and Audio Seminars
