Understanding Financials for Committee Members

This practical, hands-on session is designed for not-for-profit committee members who may not have a financial background but want to confidently understand and guide their organisation’s finances. Participants will gain the core financial knowledge needed to interpret key reports such as the balance sheet, profit and loss, and cash flow statements.

The workshop breaks down how to assess financial health, develop budgets, implement strong financial controls, and connect financial decisions with the organisation’s strategic goals. By the end, participants will have the skills to read financial reports with confidence, ask the right questions, and make well-informed decisions that support their organisation’s financial sustainability and future.
