Financial and Management Controls

Managing your organisation’s finances is vitally important and is a key role of the board of any organisation.  Overseeing other management control policies is also a role of the board and will impact on how the organisation is run.

Financial controls underpin the effective management of any organisation.  Management controls encompass the other policies which the management committee puts in place to ensure that the organisation is effectively run.  Please see links below for more details.
