Participants will learn about the important relationship between state law, Articles of Incorporation, and bylaws; discuss modernization of governance practices; and explore specific challenges participants are facing in the development of sound and understandable governing rules.

Most organizations have a general ledger that has become much more complex over time. That’s because modifications occur in the “heat of battle” without much thought to the big picture.

This workshop will give you the tools to view your finances from a high-level perspective and simplify your reporting.

Do you have more than 10 revenue accounts? Do you have more than 30 expense accounts?

If you answered “yes” to either question, your accounting system is probably more complex and cumbersome than it needs to be.

Organization and clarity of financial information is key to making effective business decisions.
