What will it cover?
Understanding finance and financial management is a major weakness in the governance and management of charities. The increasing competition for funding, pressures to quantify outcomes, improve efficiency and public scrutiny requires that Trustees need to be confident that they have a grip on this vital aspect of their charity’s strategy and sustainability.
Understanding the risks associated with the financial function will better safeguard Trustees as well as the charity.
