About this Event
Preparing an Annual Report
An organisation’s annual report is a wonderful opportunity for an organisation to tell their story and engage with their stakeholders (i.e. their beneficiaries, members, volunteers, staff, funders, supporters, and regulators). It is a valuable instrument to demonstrate good governance, accountability and transparency.

The 2-hour online workshop is aimed at Board Members, Directors, Trustees and CEOs/Managers and anyone involved in preparing an Annual Report for their organisation. It is particularly focused on the annual report needs of smaller nonprofits (annual income of less than €250,000). The workshop is delivered free to participants thanks to funding support from the Community Foundation of Ireland.
Outline
The aim of the workshop is help participants understand the process in preparing an effective Annual Report from the perspective of the Board Members, Directors, Trustees.
