Laboratory Finance: Make Every Dollar Work for You
By Jane M. Hermansen, MBA, MT(ASCP)

Although many laboratory directors come from a technical background, effective laboratory management requires knowledge that extends beyond the technical aspects of running a laboratory and must include an understanding of nuanced financial management to be successful. In this case, financial management includes financial accounting (reporting) for stakeholders, managerial accounting to support decision making, and revenue and expense management to ensure operational stability.
