Advanced Financial Management Training

About this advanced financial management training

Advanced financial management training for non-profit organisations delivered online or onsite.

Already comfortable reading financial reports, but want to use financial information more effectively to guide decisions and strengthen your organisation’s long-term sustainability?

Strong financial management is about more than understanding the numbers presented in financial reports. For Board and Committee members, CEOs and Managers, it means being able to analyse financial performance, identify emerging risks and trends, challenge assumptions and make informed decisions about the organisation’s future.

Designed for those who already have a working understanding of non-profit finances, this practical workshop builds on the foundations of financial literacy and takes participants further into financial analysis, forecasting, cash flow, risk management and strategic financial decision-making.

Participants will explore how financial strategy, funding, reserves, costs and organisational priorities work together, and develop the skills to ask the right questions and use financial information to support a financially sustainable organisation.

What you will learn

Topics delivered in this workshop include:

Analysing financial performance and identifying key financial trends, risks and emerging issues
Using financial ratios and indicators to assess organisational sustainability
Interpreting financial forecasts, scenarios and long-term financial plans
Managing cash flow, liquidity and working capital to maintain financial health
Understanding cost drivers and assessing the financial sustainability of programs and services
Strengthening financial governance, accountability and risk management

Meeting key compliance obligations from NFP regulators, including current and upcoming changes to ACNC reporting, tax concessions, payroll and superannuation

Asking effective financial questions of management and appropriately challenging assumptions

Note: This session is designed for participants who already have a working understanding of non-profit financial reports. Those new to financial reporting should consider our Finance Essentials training first.
