Money Matters- Creating good Financial Management Practices at your club
 
Money does indeed matter as it so important for sporting clubs to be sustainable and continue to achieve their goals and reach success both on and off the field!

It is vital that we implement good financial management practices to ensure that we take care of our club’s financial health and despite what seems like the obvious answer, your treasurer is not solely responsible for managing the money and funds for your club. Every committee member must come forward and have an impact in regard to finances as they are legally responsible for the financial health of the club.

This Sports Community Webinar Series will provide or increase your knowledge of financial reports and ensure you have the skills to engage in constructive financial planning and reporting to help achieve the club’s goals! For current treasurers, this series will also break your role down to make it easier for you to be successful!
 

Dates: Wednesdays

  • 22nd June
  • 29th June
  • 6th July

Time: 7:00 – 8:00pm AEST

Venue: From the comfort of your own home
