  Session 1 – Taking a new approach to risk

  Used correctly, a risk register can be a powerful, liberating tool for your charity, rather than a compliance exercise. This session will examine the approaches a board can take to obtain a clear understanding of what risk really means for you and your organisation.

  Session 2 – Planning for the long-term

  Having a long-term approach to investments brings rewards, but do you know how to deal with the short-term pressures that can get in the way? 

  A recent report ‘Time and Money’ draws on the experience of over 250 charity investors, explores the barriers to long term thinking and shares practical tips to help avoid unnecessary short-termism.

  Session 3 – Beyond annual budgets

  Rather than concentrating on columns of figures, is there a way the board can throw away the budget, and develop more flexible and original structures to think about their financial goals?

This event is part of Charity Finance Week. 

In October 2018 we will be celebrating excellence in charity finance practice through a dedicated week of events, content and thought leadership initiatives. Starting with a reception at the Houses of Parliament and culminating at the Charity Finance Summit, we will be working with charities, academic institutions and key professional service providers to debate and tackle the biggest issues head on.

Charity Finance Week is an opportunity to focus on the challenges charities face, showcase their successes and consider their impact. It will draw on the exemplars of best practice and innovation across the sector, whether they be in terms of financial governance, executive leadership or strong operating models. Charity Finance magazine will lead the coverage and content as we seek to engage with the sector and stakeholders and bring the key issues front and centre.
