Demystifying Co-op Financial Statements for Higher Member Engagement, with Maria Vaiaso & and Nigel Mohammed
When it comes to money, knowledge is power! Once we gain a better understanding of the types of financial statements coops commonly use such as balance sheets, income/expense statements and the annual operating budget, we’ll discuss creative new ways of how coops can present that information to their membership in a way that they will understand.
