About this event

Course Overview
This online course will offer an overview of your responsibilities in looking after the finances of your charity - both in monitoring and reporting on them to OSCR, the Scottish charity regulator. We will look at basic charity accounting principles, the component parts of a compliant annual statement of account, and external scrutiny requirements.
Learning Outcomes
We’ll explore how to create a compliant annual statement of account under charity law, understanding budgets, and complying with external scrutiny requirements. We will also round off with some good practice guidance on financial management. With some useful exercises and group learning – as a recent participant noted – finance can be fun!
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for all Trustees, Directors, Chief Executives, Managers and Team Leaders, Development Workers and Advisers working in Scottish charities.
