The aim of the course:

To enable participants to develop a clear understanding of the basic principles of good financial practice and procedures in voluntary and community organisations.


Accreditation:

This is a 5-day course, accredited at level 3 by the National Open College Network (NOCN). There will be approximately 25 hours directed learning in class and learners will be expected to complete 5 assessed tasks in their own time, each taking about 2 to 3 hours. If successful, the learners will be awarded 3 NOCN credits (1 credit equates to 10 hours of learning). To give an idea of the standard required, NOCN level 3 is similar to the standard expected at AS level.


Who is it for?

People who wish to be awarded NOCN credits and who will be involved to some degree in the financial management of an organisation in the voluntary and community sector. This could be staff, volunteers, committee members, trustees and directors.


The course will cover the following 5 areas:

  • Record keeping
  • Budgeting and cash flow forecasting
  • Producing finance reports for the committee / trustees etc
  • Assessing areas of financial risk and applying financial controls
  • Understanding the legal framework for year-end reporting and scrutiny.
  • Each day will involve some background theory, group discussion and exercises to apply theory to various situations.
