One of the main responsibilities of an NGO board is to provide financial oversight of its organization.  To properly discharge such duty, NGO board members must have an understanding of nonprofit financial basics.  Mastering financial literacy not only facilities directors to make sound decisions but also enables them to recognize potential warning signs.

To promote good financial governance in the sector, the Project will collaborate with our Strategic Partner, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) again to re-run the NGO Treasurers’ Club Dialogue Series.
