What Every Nonprofit Manager Should Know about Finances with Elizabeth Pilacik

Nonprofit managers are expected to be accountable for their program's finances, regardless of their previous accounting or finance education. We've designed this course to enable the non-finance professional to understand financial management basics and to interpret what financial reports say about the health of your program. It will take you through the basics of nonprofit accounting, including key terms, financial reports, reading balance sheets and income statements; audits and reviews; analysis of financial performance; basic internal controls; budget overviews and hands-on analysis of actual situations. You will walk away feeling more confident in understanding your organization's finances and able to address questions and make informed decisions.
