Course description
Essential Charity Governance
An essential insight into the principles and practices of charity governance.
For charities, good governance helps attract resources and use them effectively, ensures compliance with relevant regulations and supports a culture in which the whole organisation is working towards the charity’s vision. Poor governance can result in serious financial or reputational damage, and crucially can damage trust from the communities and stakeholders they serve.
This governance in charities course gives an intensive insight into the principles of charity governance, including the charity governance structure, the regulatory landscape, effective board operations and behaviour, and key responsibilities for trustees. The programme blends detailed technical information with practical guidance on compliance and best practice.
