Who should attend?
Charity trustees exercise control over, and are legally responsible for, the management of a charity. Although they are volunteers, their role as trustees carries significant responsibility. For example, a charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of an annual report and financial statements which, together, are generally recognised as key documents in the discharge of accountability to external users. Thus, this course should be of interest to all those involved in charity accounting and reporting, including trustees, charity accountants and practitioners.
