Finance Essentials Training for NFP's

About this finance essentials training

Tailored finance training for non-profit organisations delivered online or onsite.

Do your non profit finances sometimes seem like another language? Not sure what reports are essential for you to understand?

Board members, CEO’s and Managers of non-profit organisations come to the role with a mix of skills and experiences that makes their contribution to the overall success of the organisation unique and significant. Many don’t have an in-depth knowledge of accounting or a head for numbers, yet most Boards are now aware of their individual responsibility to ensure the group is solvent and the importance of being able to read the financial reports.

Learning how to read and understand the facts and figures presented in financial reports will mean Board members and senior managers become equipped with knowledge on which they can base major decisions when guiding their organisation and help it to survive and thrive.

Interpreting the financial reports including the balance sheet, and profit and loss and cash flow reports
