The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has launched a program of free, online short courses with a view to assisting those seeking to improve their leadership and governance. While primarily aimed at Australian registered charities, some courses and content will be of interest to all Not-for-profits. Topics covered include:
- the duties of a board member,
- the board’s role in reputation management,
- fraud prevention,
- safeguarding vulnerable people that organisations work with,
- financial reporting within an organisation,
- reporting obligations to the ACNC,
- managing conflicts of interest,
- effective complaints management, and
- dealing with internal disputes.
