Please use this template as an annual KM budgeting guide and adjust it accordingly for your organization. It is meant to be used alongside your organization's annual budget, including your PSO's annual Forum membership dues. Forum membership is intentionally not part of this template since membership dues do not include KM annual fees and related expenses. Your organization may want to depreciate some of the costs related to your KM work. Please consult your finance/accounting team about how to edit this template to align with your internal accounting process and best practices.
