This program provides a straightforward introduction to financial statements from the director’s perspective. Participants will explore the three key financial statements: the balance sheet, the income (profit and loss) statement and the cash flow statement; and discover how directors use these statements to monitor financial performance and to assess overall company performance at board level. The course also examines the financial aspects of directors’ statutory duties and non-financial indicators of company performance.
Programs will be conducted face to face and on-line in Darwin, Palmerston and Alice Springs.
Applications are assessed as they are received and places are limited.

Successful applicants undertake the highly regarded Governance Foundations for NFP Directors course, which provides a foundational-level understanding of NFP governance.
