INTRODUCTION
The AfID workshop is a fun, informative and interactive day designed both for accountants looking to volunteer overseas and those considering a career move into the sector.
Join us in learning about the world of international development, the financial capacity needs of non-profits across the developing world and the vital role played by finance professionals.
WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
The day is very relaxed and is carefully designed to provide a detailed insight into the different challenges, stakeholders and environments you will encounter in the development sector; mixing real case studies and volunteer/employee feedback with John and Neil's wealth of experience.
Participants will be actively encouraged to participate in discussions and group work, as well as to ask questions applicable to their individual circumstances. John and Neil will draw on both theoretical and practical knowledge in order to make the experience and learning applicable to each attendee’s professional background, level of experience and future plans.
