Finance Training for Charity Trustees
Wednesday 7 October 2020, 10am – 1pm
If you are a trustee then you have shared responsibility for the organisation’s
finances, whether or not you have a finance background. So whether you
intend to be involved with finances on a regular basis or not, it is important to
know what your legal responsibilities are. This session provides an overview of
the key areas; a ‘must’ for all trustees.
Whether you are involved in day-to-day finances or simply responsible for
governance of the finance function, there are skills to learn and pitfalls you
must avoid, which this training session is designed to address.
This isn’t a technical course and you don’t need a background in finance. It is
a short introduction designed to provide trustees from all walks of life with
opportunity to ask questions, examine accounts prepared by other charities
and address issues.
During the session, attendees will:
• gain a deeper understanding of the financial responsibilities of trustees
• be introduced to the legal requirements of maintaining financial records,
producing accounts, and scrutiny thereof
•
explore the latest developments in charity accounting, taxation legislation,
and best practice
Gain increased understanding of your financial responsibilities, so that you
can become more effective in discharging your legal obligations.
