Product Information

Non-profit organisations operate under intense scrutiny, yet their accounting and reporting are often handled poorly.

Delegates will learn how to treat donations, grants, and funding correctly, and how to present financial information transparently and responsibly. The session highlights common reporting failures that lead to loss of trust, regulatory issues, and professional risk. Designed for accountants and bookkeepers working with non-profits, this session helps ensure financial statements are accurate, understandable, and defensible. By the end of the session, delegates will be better equipped to support non-profit organisations while protecting their own professional standing.
