This event is designed for finance staff - from clerks to managers - and brings together expert facilitators, peer leaders, and Indigenous professionals to explore practical solutions to common challenges.

Key session themes include defining finance roles, addressing team conflict, building strong internal controls, aligning financial systems with ISC reporting requirements, preparing for audits, and creating healthier finance teams.
