The Forum commences at 1.15 pm and the AGM will follow at 4.00 pm

By popular demand our next forum is on the topic of Advocacy.
What is it? Who provides it? Who is eligible?

There will also be an opportunity for some discussion, and of course, there will be a chance to chat over the tea cups with other colleagues from the sector, building up those valuable networks.

Challenges, changes and what you need to know – FORUM

Many Not-For-Profit organisations in New Zealand are required to be audited. This can be a major frustration in a number of respects. Some NFP organisations are also experiencing challenges such as it being harder to find auditors, and the audit process becoming more complicated and expensive. Added to this are some significant environmental changes such as new accounting and audit standards, new legislation impacting auditors and independent oversight of auditors being introduced in New Zealand. NFP organisations that understand these issues and implications will be more successful.

This forum presented by Craig Fisher from Hayes Knight is targeted at:

Governing body members: Trustees, Board members
Senior management
Internal accounting team
In fact, anyone involved in the audit process in a Not-For-Profit organisation.

Craig is an Audit Director and the Chairman of Hayes Knight New Zealand. He is an experienced, passionate and pragmatic presenter of local and national presentations on such topics as auditing, accounting updates, fraud prevention and governance matters. He has a special interest in the not-for-profit sector and regularly presents to clients and other groups. He was the keynote speaker for the Charities Commission at their 2009 AGM.
