    Treasurer Training

    10:00 - 13:00Reading Central Library

    Abbey Square, Reading, RG1 3BQ

    Are you new to being a treasurer of a charity or community group in Reading, or considering taking on the role? If so, this training is for you. RVA can also help match you to a volunteer treasurer role if you are not yet volunteering in a role.

    Aims of the workshop

    • To build an understanding of the role of a treasurer in a small voluntary organisation.
    • To ensure the ability to deal with the specifics of the finances of a small voluntary organisation.
    • To give confidence about the issues that are likely to be faced by a treasurer of a small voluntary organisation.

    Learning outcomes - The content covered will be tailored depending on the needs of delegates on the day. However typically attendees will:

    • Understand their financial responsibilities as trustees.
    • Understand the particular requirements for the accounts of a small voluntary organisation.
    • Be aware of governance issues facing small voluntary organisations.
    • Be ready to resolve issues with record keeping and know where to get help if they need it.
    • Be able to determine if the organisation they volunteer with needs an audit or independent examination of their accounts.

    The training session will be open to up to 12 delegates. It will be aimed primarily at volunteer Treasurers of registered charities in Reading, but will also be suitable for volunteers who are stepping up to the role.

    We have secured a reduced rate of £40 for Reading based charities and community groups. We would like to offer this training in person at Reading Central Library, however if this is impractical for attendees it will be online via Microsoft Teams. There will be an option during booking to express your preference and we will notify delegates in advance of the delivery location/method.
