Are you serious about evaluating and improving your organization's operations? Data from ASAE can benefit CEOs, deputy CEOs, chief financial officers, managers, and volunteer leaders, who can use the information to

• compare financial and operational benchmarks against similar organizations
• measure key performance ratios
• identify potential areas for improvement
• strategize and make recommendations for the allocation of association resources
• track trends over time to inform decision making
• support board presentations
• gain an accurate picture of the organization’s financial performance and financial position

Revenue, expense, and balance-sheet data are organized by budget size, tax status, membership type, and geographic scope to allow you to compare your organization’s ratios in meaningful ways.

Options

Financial and operational performance data from the survey is available in a variety of forms:

AssociaMetrics Premium provides online access to the full complement of association industry data aggregated from ASAE, including Association Compensation and Benefits Study and Association Operating Ratio Report — plus PDFs of additional benchmarking reports prepared by ASAE, including both volumes of Benchmarking in Association Management: Policies and Procedures, Association Investment Policies, Practices, and Performance and Blue Chip CEO Compensation Study , all at a reduced package price.

Operating Ratio Report Access allows you to generate custom reports, sorting ASAE’s operating ratios data by budget size, tax status, membership type, geographic scope, and industry type and location. A one-year subscription includes access to an electronic copy of Association Operating Ratio Report. 

Association Operating Ratio Report (PDF) comes with an executive summary and pre-generated tables organized by budget size, tax classification, and geographic scope.

ORR Tables by Revenue Category are an option for those who don’t need an executive summary, aren’t interested in filtering and creating custom reports, and require data for only one revenue category.
