NCN Institute Training: Financial Systems and Dashboards
CDFI financial systems that lead to understandable metrics are not only complicated, they are constantly changing. Boards and management need top level information in a visual format with objectives placed side by side with CDFI performance. This is where dashboards come in. Dashboards provide quick, ongoing snapshots for decision makers so they can adapt to changes in the nonprofit environment. They allow the board and management to decide on key objectives of the organization, (e.g., deployment, delinquency, borrowing capacity) then provide a quick reference as to how the CDFI is tracking against the mission.
Key Objectives
- Introduce the various types of financial systems CDFIs use.
- Why and how dashboards help achieve organizational objectives.
- Develop a useful, customized dashboard for your CDFI with Excel and visual templates.
