No-nonsense Financial Management for NGOs
This one-day workshop makes financial management accessible and applicable to non-financial personnel in the non-profit sector.
FRIDAY, 8 FEBRUARY IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER!
Effective financial management is the lifeline for any non-profit organisation, which is a critical skill to raise funds as well as implement programmes. Everyone who works in a NGO should master the basics of financial management to ensure the proper use of resources. But those of us who work hands-on in a non-profit knows that financial management is often side-lined during the day-to-day activities and perceived as difficult by non-finance staff.
Workshop outline:
• Understand key financial concepts and language
• Compile your own NGO's financial statements
• Interpret prospective donors' financial statements to determine how much they can donate
• Prevent fraud in your organisation to give yourself and your donors peace of mind
• Manage funding from donors effectively
• Improve your project management by maintaining control over your expenses
• Determine the cost-effectiveness between different NGO programmes
• Understanding the difference between the book value of a Fixed Asset and the actual value of a Fixed Asset
• Compile a budget for fund-raising proposals
• Compile a yearly budget for the NGO
• Forecast cash flow and pledges to set your fund-raising targets and manage activities
• Analyse the difference between actual spending and the budget
• Understand your tax obligation as a Section 21 company
Financial management can be fun and rewarding. We will show you how!
