The Effective Board Member

Three live online modules on what a board is for, how it gets assurance, and how to read the numbers. Take one, or take all three.

Most board members arrive through a family link, a clinical career, a headship or a promotion, and then discover that nobody explains what a trustee actually does, how assurance is supposed to work, or which question to ask when the surplus looks too good. This programme teaches the job itself. Each module stands on its own, and taken together they build: the first sets the frame, the second gives the discipline, and the third applies both to the numbers.

Module 1 – In the Boardroom

What a board is actually for, where the line between executive and non executive sits, and how the good ones behave when it gets difficult.

Module 2 – Governance, Risk and Assurance

Governance that is proportionate and purposeful, risk that is more than a register, and the difference between being told everything is fine and knowing it.

Module 3 – Finance in the Boardroom

Finance for non finance board members. What the statements tell you, what the pack is hiding, and the questions that surface a problem before the auditors do.
