Financial Oversight for Board Members – Session 2

This two-session series, facilitated by Doug Green of La Piana Consulting, provides tools for effective financial oversight for nonprofits. Building on the first session and continuing to explore the case study, this interactive workshop offers a deeper dive into financial analysis tools that will support a nonprofit’s strategy and planning efforts. Specific elements will include measuring the cost of programs relative to impact, understanding the financial impact of donor/funder restrictions and their impact on cash flow, and considering relative roles of board and staff.
