Webinar: Good Governance: What Every Business Officer Needs to Know
Event Details
understand and practice principles of good governance
As the financial stewards of the school, it is important for school business officers to understand and practice principles of good governance. Business officers often attend board meetings and provide information, data, and trends to the board or a committee of the board. It is important to understand roles and responsibilities, and also to promote best practices such as a conflict of interest policy, investment policy, whistleblower policy, document retention, and destruction policy, and procedures to ensure confidentiality of information. This session will provide a checklist of tips for business officers to consider as we turn the corner on a new fiscal year.
