This Yorkshire Funders’ training workshop run by WYCAS has been designed for grantmaking staff and trustees who are tasked with reviewing applicants’ accounts and finances as part of their grant assessment process.

The workshop will cover:

• Reviewing applicants’ accounts (registered charities, CICs and voluntary groups)
• Knowing what elements of the accounts to home in on and red flags to look out for
• Understanding balance sheets, income and expenditure documents as well as cashflow forecasts
• What do we mean by restricted and unrestricted reserves?
