GOVERNANCE MATTERS #4: The Board's role in financial oversight

All board members are required to make wise decisions on behalf of the organisation. If you

can’t read your organisation’s financial statements, you are missing a large part of the

information you need to know to ensure good judgement. It is no longer enough to just

have a treasurer who knows what is going on. All committee members are required to know

how to read their financials and to take the right meaning from your financial position.
