Presented by Nina Laitala, Training Lead, Community Directors
Overseeing the finances is one of the most important tasks you have as a board member. Financial literacy will put your organisation in the best position to promote and fulfil your organisation’s mission. If you don't understand how the finances work, you'll be at risk of getting caught up if anything goes wrong – and things can (and will) go wrong!
In this webinar we’ll be exploring:
- the questions you should be asking about the finances as a board member
- the reports you should be seeing to ensure you're getting the full picture
- how to read, interpret, and act on financial papers to make informed decisions
- integrating financial oversight into board decision-making, so strategy and sustainability go hand in hand.
