Financial statements can be intimidating, yet they contain enormously valuable information. More importantly, they are used by external decision-makers who hold nonprofits’ financial well-being in their hands.

“Financial Statements – Efficient Review Practices for Board Members” will be held on Friday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Eastsound Fire Hall. The participation fee is $25 per organization.

Workshop facilitator is Erin Welch, CPA, a financial statement auditor and consultant, working with not-for-profits to prepare financial statements that accurately and effectively communicate to external audiences.

This training is underwritten by the “Capacity Building” grant received by Orcas Island Community Foundation from Philanthropy Northwest.

Welch will have five half-hour timeslots available for individual non-profits in the afternoon. These will be filled on a first come first served basis.
