Building International NGO capacity through Financial Management

Overview

A practical workshop for accountants interested in International Development.

The AfID workshop is a fun, informative and interactive day designed both for accountants interested in volunteering overseas and those considering a career move into the sector

It’s a great way to learn about development, the varied roles for finance professionals, our assignments and the needs our many non-proft partners. The day is very relaxed and it is carefully designed to provide detailed insight into the different challenges, stakeholders and environments you will encounter; mixing real case studies and volunteer feedback.
