Educational sessions for nonprofit financial professionals
Don’t miss this session, presented by Brandy Keller, Director of Product Management and Marketing, on creating a plan for your nonprofit’s growth.
Session: Creating a Blueprint for Growth
Tuesday, June 11, 2019 4:50 – 5:40 p.m.
Track: Accounting & Auditing
Field of Study: Business Management & Organization
CPE Credit: 1.0
Knowledge Level: Intermediate
Advanced Preparation: None
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of not-for-profit operations, auditing, accounting and/or compliance requirements. General experience working in, or auditing, not-for-profits, including those NFPs audited under GAGAS.
Description: Based on industry studies, 80 percent of nonprofit finance professionals say their organization plans to grow in the next 12-18 months. But how do you plan for growth? How are your peers planning for growth? Knowing that nonprofit growth presents its own unique set of challenges, and, if not managed properly, can actually hurt your organization, you need a solid strategy to go forward. In this session, we’ve taken feedback from hundreds of organizations facing growth challenges and consolidated best practices into a step-by-step guide to evaluate growth opportunities and prepare your organization to dive in.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine which growth opportunities to pursue
- Formulate a comprehensive growth plan while applying a risk management framework
- Identify technology requirements for accommodating growth
- Use effective people management techniques to maintain morale throughout the transition
We’re also hosting a Learning Lab intended for nonprofit finance professionals on how to identify and deter fraud in your organization.
Session: The Perfect Storm: Protecting Your Nonprofit from the Devastation of Fraud
Wednesday, June 10, 2019, 10:25 – 10:45 a.m.
Speaker: Scott Williams, Sales Engineer, MIP, Community Brands
Room: The Exhibit Hall
Description: Fraud is always a threat to nonprofit organizations. Tight budgets and staff shortages often contribute to a lack of oversight and prevention measures. This makes nonprofits more vulnerable, and the cost of vulnerability is a high one. After this session, you’ll be the Sherlock Holmes of nonprofit fraud. You’ll learn to:
- Understand the profile of someone most likely to commit fraud
- Understand the most common types of fraud that occur
- Understand how you can use MIP to deter fraud
See you in D.C.!
