Prove Improve Account!
2 day workshop 12 -13/03/12 in Glasgow
This interactive and informative two day workshop will take participants through the four stages of social accounting and audit. Firstly, identifying and clarifying the purpose and objectives of an organisation along with who it works with; secondly, looking at information need to report back on each objective in terms of outputs and outcomes; thirdly, the bringing together of the information into a written account which reports on performance and impact; and fourthly, the verification of the social account to provide it with credibility. This tried and tested process has emerged from work directly with social economy organisations over the years and will be based on the New Guide to social accounting and audit which will be provided to participants. The programme is a mix of presentations and exercises which allows time for discussion and debate. It also demonstrates a number of techniques and tools that are available to help organisations compile a meaningful social report - and may be of wider benefit to your organisation.
Cost: £350 including a copy of the New Guide and CD
