VII. BUDGET REPORT
The Section this year has continued a greater focus on sponsorships and publications and this
coupled with Non‐dues income from CLE and National Institute programming helps us to
continue to operate in the black. We have experienced budget cuts from the ABA for three
years in a row and the efforts mentioned above along with a strong frugal history have assisted
the CJS and to maintain a very solid financial framework. Dues income for lawyer members
has decreased slightly over levels at this time last year. Section reserves are strong providing
fiscal stability and ensuring continuity of Section activities in the face of economic downturns.
The most recent financial reports show that the bulk of total FY08‐09 revenues have already
been received, but our heaviest expenses will not be incurred until the last half of the year and
probably not recorded until the final quarter.
CLE and National Institute programs account for the bulk of income to the Section. The White
Collar Crime National Institute continues to be extraordinarily successful.
DUES INCOME: Regular lawyer and associate member dues were budgeted at $250,000 and to
date we have received $225,000 actual collections for the current year. Efforts to increase
existing membership numbers and to retain our regular lawyer base continue.
GENERAL REVENUE REQUESTS: Section activities are supported by more than our Section
resources. The Section receives substantial general revenue support from the ABA toward our
basic operations.
