We are fortunate that Jen Richardson of Ward Goodman, the leading provider of accountancy and financial services based in Dorset, has offered to run an interactive session on accounts and finances at our December Trustee Breakfast Club. Jen has offered to cover your "top 5" questions in this area as a starting point and then answer questions from the floor. It's an exciting opportunity to pick the brains of Jen who is an experienced charity auditor and independent examiner and a charity specialist.
Please can you therefore answer the questions below, so that we can tell Jen what the main concerns for you as Trustees are. To book on this event, please go to
