With the recession biting, “doing nothing and hoping for the best” is no longer an option for charities. At the launch of the Charity Commission's 'Big Board Talk' initiative, Andrew Hind, Chief Executive, stated that: “The survival (of charities) depends on their having the courage to ask themselves some fundamental questions. Asking these key questions will help trustee boards review their options, make the hard decisions and enable them to have a clear understanding of the challenges they face and the best ways to tackle them.” Central to this process has to be a review your financial strategy. This seminar helps you identify and analyse your charity’s strategic finance goals, a critical factor in its efficient operation and ultimately its survival.
