The CCEW have updated their guidance for trustees, Charity finances: trustee essentials.
The guidance focuses on the financial responsibilities of charity trustees and the matters trustees should be considering as part of their role.
The guidance also considers how charities should be using their finances, income generation and how other resources should be used.
This is essential reading for all trustees, but particularly those with a finance remit.
The CCEW have also updated the publication, ‘Charity governance, finance and resilience: 15 questions trustees should ask’.
This is promoted by the CCEW as a useful checklist for trustees to use at AGMs, trustee meetings, away day discussions or planning meetings.
The questions cover issues such as strategy, financial health, governance and making the best use of resources.
The publication acts as a useful prompt for trustees to reflect on. The questions can also be used to challenge charity executives and keep them accountable.
