Webinar: Questions your board should be asking about the finances
Presented by Nina Laitala, Training Lead, Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA)
Overseeing the finances is probably 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 and the reports you should be seeing.
- How to read, understand and act upon financial papers.
- Ways to build financial matters into decision-making processes
Tuesday, 3 September 2024. 1pm to 2pm AEST.
