Led by Alan Strand, Director of Financial Services for the California Association of Nonprofits (CAN), the Nonprofit Accounting Boot Camp will cover the essentials of accounting in a nonprofit environment. The course will begin with an overview of what it means to be a nonprofit and to do functional accounting in that context, then move into specific areas that are often problematic to nonprofit finance managers and accountants, including cost allocation, accounting for donations, preparing for an audit, preventing fraud and more.

You'll get the answers to questions like:

How can I create good, usable financial policies?
