NCG is pleased to announce we are bringin out three-part financial workshop series in partnership with Fiscal Management Associates (FMA) to the South Bay. The FMA Financial Workshop Series builds upon the Financial Analysis Training: Assessing Nonprofit Financial Health (previously hosted at NCG) and will take a deeper dive into the details of financial management. All three workshops in this series are designed to help funders support your grantees in building financial management practices, strengthen your partnership with grantees for financial sustainability and inform your own grantmaking practice.
We encourage you to register for all three workshops, however, it is not necessary since each workshop is unique and does not require content or background from the previous workshop.
About This Workshop
In this workshop funders will gain an understanding of how to assess a nonprofit organization’s financial health when no audited financial statements are available. The session will focus on two key sources of financial information: the IRS Form 990 and internal financial statements prepared by the grantee. Because small- to mid-size nonprofits often use QuickBooks to prepare internal financial statements, the training will include a discussion on the use and limitations of this system.
The following items will be highlighted in the session:
- Form 990 versus the audit: what are the differences in information provided in these two documents?
- Key internal financial statements an organization should be producing, including a discussion of how QuickBooks should be configured to facilitate optimal reporting for nonprofit organizations
- Understanding liquidity, operating results, and availability of reserves using data available on the Form 990 and internal financial statement
Join us for an informal networking lunch following the progam.
