Finance certification curriculum overview

Four modules: finance fundamentals, controls and compliance, reporting and analysis, and finance leadership.

Workshops run in local language using the Society's own accounts rather than a worked example from elsewhere, which is the single change participants rate highest. Certification follows an assessment, and mentoring continues for three months after the workshop closes.

What it is for

Set out the certification pathway before a Society commits staff time to it.

Who it is for

Finance directors and HR leads planning staff development.

How to use it

Module one is a prerequisite for the rest. Everything else can be taken in any order.
