The role of board Treasurer is an honorary role. This means that it is not a legal requirement for a board or committee to appoint a board Treasurer. However, appointing a board Treasurer makes good, practical sense if the work of a non-profit board is to be progressed satisfactorily. Upon appointment, a treasurer takes on particular duties and responsibilities appropriate to the role. In this course, we provide an insight into the financial management function as it typically applies to a non-profit organisation.
