Governance training for community groups
About
Governance is the system that ensures checks and balances are in place for leaders of not-for-profit organisations,which help them to steer the organisation. That sounds simple, yet volunteer non-profit and charitable committees
must wade through the complex legal and regulatory environment in which they operate.
Our governance training will help community groups understand leadership and good governance. It will enable
them to appreciate how important it is to have structures in place that lead to a positive committee member
experience, proper management of conflicts of interest and risk, understanding and planning of financial controls
and an organisation that thrives even through adversity. Their members, funders and donors will gain confidence
when good governance and transparency are in place, which will in turn lead to greater value services being
provided for the community. Topics include:
» Assessing if good governance is in place
» Understanding the Committee’s role in planning
» Oversighting and monitoring the finances
» Managing organisational risk
» Identifying the entity’s legal structure and the implications for this
» Outlining the roles, responsibilities and legal duties of the committee
