Course Description
Each not-for-profit organization has a unique mix of financial characteristics, with a few commonalities of contributions, special events and net assets with donor restrictions. Understanding the key areas of financial reporting and how to use the knowledge to exercise effective due diligence, make informed and strategic decisions and present funders with the most compelling story, can become key qualities in determining the ultimate success of the organization. Achieving long-term mission fulfillment and financial sustainability depend on having board members, management and development staff who understand the role of financial reporting and key performance indicators. This workshop will help build that understanding to support effective leadership.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the most significant and unique elements of not-for-profit financial statements
• Discuss key metrics and performance indicators 
• Discuss how to use financial statements as a tool for making strategic decisions and telling the story of your organization
