Are you responsible for a not-for-profit or charity organization’s budget or planning process? If so we recognise you face different challenges from financial managers or accountants in the corporate world:

• Fluctuating and unpredictable income
• Limited and restricted funds
• A greater need for accountability
• More non-finance people involved in the budgeting process
• Workers in different parts of the country or world
