About
Cazenove Charities has partnered with chartered accountants haysmacintyre and charity lawyers, Farrer and Co to bring a series of training events to charity trustees to complement our existing programme.
This series provides comprehensive training for experienced trustees covering a range of essential topics including a charity law update and an introduction to charity finance and reporting as well as full and half day sessions on "What every trustee should know".
The programme enables trustees to pick and choose the courses most pertinent. Many of the courses will also be useful for charity chief executives, finance directors and other members of the senior management team.
There is a charge of £75 to attend this event.
