Overview Effect

Governance Matters is a series of FREE Zoom sessions focused on governance principles for boards or committees of NFP organisations in New Zealand.

​

Many volunteer members of committees or boards struggle to find the time to develop their skills in governance or have topics they would like to explore further but can’t devote a whole or half day to attending a workshop. These workshops are designed to be delivered in 1-1.5-hour sessions on very specific topics. Participants can attend one or more as needed. Each workshop will give basic principles and provide time for questions. 

 

Session 4: The Board’s role in financial oversight

All board members are required to make wise decisions on behalf of the organisation. If you

can’t read your organisation’s financial statements, you are missing a large part of the

information you need to know to ensure good judgement. It is no longer enough to just

have a treasurer who knows what is going on. All committee members are required to know

how to read their financials and to take the right meaning from your financial position.
