Seminar: Financial management for NPOs – 8 CPD hours – Nov 2015
Overview 
Financial management is the lifeblood of any organisation, including those in the not-for-profit sector. Everyone working to achieve an NPO’s objectives has an important role to play in ensuring effective and proper use of financial resources. However, basic financial management skills are often lacking and financial management too often gets side-lined during programme implementation.
This workshop is designed to strengthen the financial management skills and confidence of NPO staff to:
- Integrate good financial management systems into operations management
- Manage and control financial resources more efficiently and effectively
