Financial Governance and Delegation of Authority Frameworks

When it is unclear who can approve what, organisations suffer both fraud and paralysis. This course helps finance and governance staff design a clear delegation of authority framework and the financial governance policies that surround it. Participants learn to set approval limits, segregate duties and document accountability so that spending decisions are fast, controlled and defensible to boards and funders.
