The Finance Game
Learn finance the fun way
Are you just accepting that your treasurer or your auditor has got it right?
Do you know the questions to ask to understand the balance sheet?
Are you aware of your legal obligations?
Your Responsibilities
You have a responsibility as a committee or board member to understand the financial position of the organisation you’re representing.
But it’s hard to understand financial statements if you don’t know how they’re created. This can be tricky, especially when every organisation presents the information in a slightly different way.
Then there’s the hidden risk!
You can be held personally liable if you have been negligent in your legal obligations when reviewing and approving financial documents. You also need to protect the organisation from trading insolvent which is a personal liability.
The larger an organisation, the larger the personal consequences for failing in your legal obligations.
Learn financials the easy and fun way
Now there’s a new way to help committee members, board members, and directors understand financial statements. You can also ask for the senior managers or bookkeepers training program.
