Financial management for non-financial managers (2 days)

7 and 8 May 2007
4 and 5 December 2007
With: John Cammack

Financial management can be a daunting task for the non-specialist. Most guides are written for profit-making business. This course demystifies finance by explaining the jargon and guiding participants around financial systems for not-for-profit organisations so that the accounts can become useful tools. The course is based around activities which cover budgeting, cash flow, interpreting financial statements, the use of auditors and systems to help build the financial capacity of a non-profit organisation.

This course can be tailored to meet your specific needs and delivered in-house.

Comments from previous courses:

“This was one of the most satisfactory pieces of training I have been on. The trainer was engaging, passionate about the subject, and with exercises of great relevance to my experience.

From a scared beginner I am now confident in looking at accounts, and have played a full part in setting budgets for this year. This was exactly what I hoped to accomplish by this training.”

“An excellent overview of responsibilities of a steering group – with all its implications”

“I felt the most useful session was how to review and monitor notes to the accounts, and I am happy now because I am confident that I can carry out such an activity”

 “I found the course very useful and informative, especially working at group tasks which facilitated discussion”

“I feel much more confident to ask relevant questions of the steering group”

“I now feel well-equipped to understand tables and terminology of the accounts”

“The presentation was wonderful, group activity was great and we had plenty of time for each session”
