the financial administration of your organisation, join the head of the LCVS
Community Accountancy Team for a comprehensive introduction to finance
skills. Build your knowledge base and confidence across a broad range of
areas and ask questions in a supportive environment.
We understand the unique challenges faced by those in voluntary sector
finance roles. We know that many people are learning as they go. This
session will arm you with the knowledge to approach your role with renewed
confidence.
In addition to an increased knowledge of the specific requirements and
legalities, you will receive a practical introduction to record keeping,
production of accounts for internal and external purposes and the budgeting
techniques required for organisational use, as well as in preparation of funding
bids. You will also have the opportunity to talk to other people in finance roles,
as well as your trainer - an experienced accountant who specialises in the
sector.
During this session you will learn about:
• what records need to be kept
• maintaining simple books of account
• producing accounts using figures and information from the books
and records
•
• independent examination or audit – reasons and processes
• ‘thorny’ issues, such as grants vs contracts, capital vs revenue,
reserves, and funds – getting it right!
