We invite you to attend this complimentary seminar on Tuesday 29th November from 12pm - 2pm at the Kolmar Sports Centre. The accounting world in New Zealand has been going through the most significant changes in the last 20 years. Much of this has been the result of comprehensive legislative reform now in effect. Registered charities were not previously required by their own legislation to prepare financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP). Whilst many have, many others have not, which has led to a broad spectrum of quality of financial reporting being presented by charities. With guest presenter Julia Fletcher (DIA Charities Services), RSM and Foundation North will present on 'New Financial Reporting Standards' - Six months on from the implementation of the standards, you will learn from the good, the bad and the ugly cases! You will also learn about the opportunities these provide for you to enhance stakeholder support.
- Who should attend: Those involved in governing or managing charities, and the preparers of financial statements
- When: Tuesday 29th November 12pm - 2pm
- Where: Kolmar Sports Centre, 295 Great South Road, Papatoetoe
- Car parking available on site: Great South Road or Sutton Crescent entrances
