Finance Fundamentals is a complimentary training program for Australian not-for-profit executives, managers and stakeholders from non-finance backgrounds. Designed by our CFO Advisory team, the program builds financial fluency from first principles through to practical application: analysing financial statements; understanding budgets and cash flow; evaluating capital investment; managing working capital and reserves; and strengthening financial sustainability and governance. Content is grounded in the ACNC Act and Governance Standards, the Corporations Act and Australian Accounting Standards, including AASB 1058 and AASB 15. The self-paced, online program spans five modules with more than 20 sessions, combining key finance and accounting concepts with worked examples, case studies and emerging themes: 1.

Develops the ability to interrogate financial statements and understand grant income recognition and NFP specific financial ratios. 3. Covers the budgeting and forecasting cycle for grant-dependent organisations. 4. Addresses capital investment appraisal, risk management, reserves policy and financing options. 5. Connects performance management (beyond financials), board governance and emerging themes to your own role.
