This session looks at the requirements of the Charity Commission for an independent examination, the steps to undertaking the work and reaching a conclusion.
Ideal for individuals looking to provide IE services to churches but equally useful for trustees to understand what the IE covers and what they can do to ensure that information is available.
Please note: This is a standalone training session.
The training will be delivered via Zoom.
After paying for your place, a member of the ACAT team will be in touch with full joining details.
