Hempsons’ Trustee Training Webinar 2

This programme has been split into three separate sessions, which can be attended as a full programme, or individually, as the sessions are interlinked and build on each other.

It has been designed for charity trustees and chief executives, and is suitable for those new in post as well as the more experienced who are wanting a refresher.

Our aim is to give practical tips to help improve your governance and those who attend will be sent an update on recent legal developments for the charity sector.

The programme will cover:

Session Two – 17 November – Improving governance at board & senior management level
Making governance work better at board and senior management level, looking at board effectiveness and its role, how this relates to the work of the chief executive, efficient delegation and how to approach taking the difficult decisions.

You can find the other sessions in this series on the Action Hampshire calendar. The agenda is as follows:

Session One – 10 November – Legal duties and responsibilities of charity trustees (past event)

The legal duties and responsibilities of charity trustees, including managing conflicts of interest. We will explore the need for trustees to take responsibility for their organisations including virtual, hybrid and face to face meetings.

Session Three – 23 November – Trustees’ responsibilities for financial governance
Trustees’ responsibilities for both external and internal financial reporting, examining key areas such as the different types of funds and how they can be spent and the linking of reserves policy to strategy.

The sessions will be presented by Ian Hempseed, head of charities and social enterprise; Helen Hirst, associate charities and social enterprise both of Hempsons and Richard Weaver, head of charities and not for profit at haysmacintyre (specialist charity accountants).

Due to the high demand for places on these webinars organisations are only able to book up to three delegate places per webinar.
