NORFOLK PTS
UNDERSTANDING THE FINANCIAL YEAR-END
Time:
7 - 9.30 pm
If you are a councillor who regularly checks the finances or is involved in other aspects of council finance this course will be useful to you. We recommend that all Clerks/RFOs attend our year-end finance courses but as a councillor do you know what is needed and when? We aim to provide step-by-step help through the end of year finance process with lots of opportunity for questions in an informal setting. The tutor is an experienced Clerk with many years of successfully managing council budgets.

Notes:
We'll send you a link via email a day or two before the session is due to be held, so you can just click on the link to join in. You'll need a laptop, tablet or smartphone with a camera; if you haven't tried this technology before that's fine - we'll happily conduct a quick test session with you the day before if you like.
