SCHEDULE

Learn how non-profit organizations and charities differ from their “for-profit” cousins.

Many CPAs work for social purpose organizations or volunteer on non-profit boards. To provide value to these organizations, CPAs need to understand the unique regulatory environment, financial management and financial governance challenges faced by non-profits.

From a compliance perspective, this certificate course will provide an overview of the following topics:

• Useful practices in budgeting and financial reporting
• Accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations (including non-profits and charities)
• How to work effectively with an external auditor or accountant
• Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) rules and regulations related to non-profits and charities

From a strategic perspective, participants will be introduced to methods to improve financial sustainability, health, performance as well as good financial governance practices to protect the assets and reputations of non-profit organizations and their directors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
