To serve crime victims more effectively, victim service organizations must use fundamental financial management practices to stay solvent and operate properly. In this training, you will learn key bookkeeping and accounting principles, how to prepare financial documents, how to prevent fraud, and the differences in available financial management tools.
This training is designed for those responsible for their organization’s financial management. It will be delivered online, over the course of 6 weeks, beginning on September 2, 2019. Each week, except for the introductory week, will include a facilitated webinar. Additionally, there are recommended readings and videos as well as written assignments. You should expect to spend about an hour per week on these in addition to participating in the 75-minute webinar. CEUs will be awarded for those who complete all requirements.
The Financial Management training is part of the National Victim Assistance Academy Effective Management Series and, like all of OVC TTAC trainings, there is no cost to participate.
Please note: Space is limited. Apply today to reserve your spot.
