Financial Policies and Internal Controls

A workshop for nonprofit staff and board members responsible for managing finances in complex, uncertain times. Strengthen your organization's finances, improve budgeting and reporting, and gain confidence in fiscal stewardship. Held in person at NEW in Ann Arbor on September 17, October 15, and November 12 from 9:00am - 12:00pm, this series is for nonprofit leaders, board members, managers, organizers, and administrators who steward budgets and resources, often without formal financial training.
