B) Because the event owner has responsibility for recruiting sufficient staff to deliver the event
C) Because the event owner has responsibility for the financial success of the event
D) Because the event owner has the ultimate legal responsibility for all aspects of the event

Accepted Answer

Establishing event ownership is fundamental to the legal aspects of event management because the event owner has the ultimate legal responsibility for all aspects of the event. This includes ensuring that all necessary permits and licenses are obtained, that safety and security measures are in place, and that any accidents or incidents are properly handled. The event owner may also be held liable for any financial or legal issues that arise during or after the event.

Accepted Answer

Negotiating payment terms, such as extending the deadline for payment or arranging for partial payments, can help manage cashflow issues. Other options, such as cancellation clauses or attrition clauses, may provide some protection or flexibility, but do not directly address cashflow problems. The other choices, such as full details of costs, provision of personnel, and security, are important to include in the contract but do not relate specifically to managing cashflow.
