Serving on a nonprofit board is a wonderful way to improve our world and can provide some benefits to you. As a financial professional, you have so much to offer not-for-profit companies. This course is for those new to not-for-profit boards and provides insights to those with nonprofit board experience.

What You'll Learn ...

This course is broken into two sections. In the first section, you'll learn:

  • The benefits you provide to a nonprofit board
  • What board experience may offer to you
  • Key documents to review before joining a board
  • Questions to ask before joining a board
  • Tips for getting on a board
  • The three duties of all board members
  • Personal liability risks of joining a board and how to mitigate them

The second section of the course goes deeper into nonprofit financial oversight. I'll explain:

  • The financial policies that boards use to guide their organizations
  • How nonprofit financial statements differ from for-profit statements
  • How nonprofit financial management differs from for-profits
  • The duties of the finance committee and the audit committee
  • Types of nonprofit audits and examinations
  • Tax compliance for tax-exempt organizations (ironic, isn't it?)
