Martin, Joanne and Faye will cover ways charities can digitise their finance function along with the range of benefits this can bring. They will run though some of the ways in which digital systems can drastically improve a charity’s reporting capabilities as well as saving time and costs and ensuring funds are being monitored and managed effectively. They will also talk us through considerations for charities carrying out a trade, including Charity Commission guidance, tax implications and structures that can be implemented to minimise risk.
