  • Moving from Treasurer to Director
    May 29 2024

    What does it mean when you are a Treasurer of an Association moving to a Company Limited by Guarantee and then becoming a Director on the Board, and what affect does the role change bring?

    Before we start thinking about the size and sophistication of your organisation, it’s important to see things from an operational perspective when defining roles and responsibilities. Some Treasurers of Associations, who look to understand the implications for their role when moving to a Company Limited by Guarantee, become a little overwhelmed or fearful. In this video I’ll explain this is not necessary and changing to a Company Limited by Guarantee can deliver benefits and clarity for all.

    When moving from Treasurer to Director, what are your responsibilities - are they different or do they remain the same? And what is there to consider for all Directors on a board? Share your comments on our social channels below.

  • Right of Use Assets
    May 14 2024

    The topic of Right of Use Assets has come up in several NFP Board and Finance Committee discussions. It causes a bit of confusion, especially when organisations, for example, are used to recognising their rent or lease payments as an expense.

    In this video I’m not going into the accounting rules, this will be more conceptual, so you can have an appreciation of what Right of Use Assets means when you see it and the meaning it's attempting to convey.

    It is one of the harder accounting concepts to wrap your head around, even for accountants, so you might need to watch the video a few times.

  • Accounting is a language to tell your story
    Oct 25 2023

    As the CEO of an NFP, telling your story in meaningful and consistent ways is vital to delivering on your purpose. In this podcast, I discuss storytelling through the language of accounting, and why the CEO, Board and stakeholders should speak it regularly to tell their story.

    Creating a meaningful story with the numbers on the page may be challenging at first, however when spoken regularly, this unique approach has many benefits. Using the language of accounting in storytelling creates consistency and aligns your purpose throughout the organisation.
