Invest in Your Board Goverance Bundle

Legal Duties of NFP Directors

This workshop covers a topic that's important to new and seasoned non-profit directors alike. Whenever we facilitate on this topic, we get the same reaction. Your directors will be the same. After this workshop, they will say, "I wish our board had taken this training years ago."

In this short board module, you and your fellow directors will develop:

  • Increased confidence in your legal duties, roles and responsibilities
  • Greater awareness of the importance of effectively carrying out those duties
  • Strategies for minimizing your exposure to personal and collective liability, and increasing the governance effectiveness of your board

Mechanics of NFP Financial Statements


In this Easy Guide module, participants learn how to interpret the financial statements of their non-profit organization.  This board training module takes approximately 36 minutes. It is presented in 3 parts:

Part 1 – What’s Under the Hood?
Participants learn the importance of each component in their non-profit financial report. They also gain confidence in interpreting the key financial information included in each component of the accountant’s report. 
Part 2 – How to Diagnose.
Participants have an opportunity to practise applying what they learned in Part 1. They learn the key financial health checks that can be used to assess the fiscal well-being of the organization.
Part 3 – Ongoing Maintenance. 
Participants are introduced to the financial governance DASHBOARD, a tool that increases the effectiveness of any board. By using the DASHBOARD, your board will govern better and save time in the process.
