Event Description

In the past year, many organizations have had to assess various scenarios for sustaining the vital services our sector provides. As we explore new organizational strategies and ways to meet greater and changing needs, it’s a prime time to improve or build the systems and structures that support strong financial leadership among our board and management teams.

Learn how to:

  • Use financial analyses to inform your organization’s strategic planning
  • Distinguish functions of governance and management and define the proper roles for the board and management
  • Evaluate organizational structures to support board and staff functions
  • Monitor and evaluate financial reporting (addressing anticipated performance results, regular reports, and dashboards)
  • Achieve successful audits

Join David Altman, the chief financial officer of Central City Concern, for a good look at financial strategies as an integral part of strategic planning. We’ll explore the issues related to budgeting, forecasting, and performance indicators, and you’ll leave with strategies to help you determine how to govern audit functions and to devise reporting functions that support operations and the organization's mission.
