Reserves Policy Training - 2 March 2021

2 March 2021

Learn how to develop a reserves policy for your charity

We know how important it is for charity leaders and finance professionals to keep up-to-date with regulations and best practices, particularly during challenging times. We are therefore delighted to announce that this training course will be taking place online.   

This half-day online course has been designed to help charity finance professionals develop a reserves policy that meets the requirements of the Charity Commission and SORP but which is also focussed on financial risk and forms an integral part of the charity’s financial strategy.

This course is now sold out. The next Reserves Policy Training will take place on 4 May, click here to find out more.
