Media is often the great mystery for organisations. Having spent countless hours preparing media releases with no response, or even if they do get an opportunity with media, finding that the coverage fails to yield the traction they were expecting.

The answer to this mystery is simple Like “you are approaching media in the wrong way” and through his presentation Randal will unlock the secret to not only how organisations can get coverage, but as importantly, how they can get the right coverage providing them with the maximum impact, all whilst protecting and enhancing their reputation.

Running streamlined and effective meetings is an often overlooked part of effective not-for-profit governance. While personality clashes between board members, high stress topics and organisational or community politics can cause no end of problems for boards, most unproductive board meetings (and board problems) are caused by simple structural choices or assumptions.

Changes to basic aspects of your meetings like timing of meetings, agenda structure etc… can shift a board (or board meeting) from being unproductive to being highly effective. Join Raphael in this session to gain practical tips and insights to help you improve your board or committee meetings.
Janie Alcock
In this session Janie will share 7 insights into effective digital fundraising proving that everything old is new again.
Come along for practical tips on how to launch or improve your online fundraising.

How can you inspire people to support your cause and follow your lead? Give them the Data? Well, research shows that information rarely prompts action, because behaviour is driven by emotion. Try the communication technology used by great leaders throughout history - Stories.

Master Storyteller, Simon Oats will introduce you to the cutting edge science of Storytelling and cognition, and how to use this knowledge to craft powerful and persuasive personal stories.

Our NFP Board and Committee rooms are now filled with innovators, details people, influencers, sales gurus, mums and dads, dot.com experts, peace makers. Diversity that arouses positive and robust conversations to produce great outcomes for our communities. It’s an exciting time to be a Not for Profit Board member.

Now the big but…who has the skills to herd this group to achieve value for the organisation? Wonderwoman? Not many have the chance to experience an effective Chair in action or have training to lead a board so we need to dig in to find what makes a great Chair and what their role is in setting culture for the organisation. This session will give some tips for those aspiring to the position of Chair or even if you just happened be the last to the meeting and find the ‘throne’ vacant that day.

Just as you wouldn’t embark on a mountain climbing expedition without the right equipment, neither can you set out for grants success without undertaking essential preparations!
Great planning makes for great success – but luckily you don’t need to re-invent the wheel in planning your grants program.
This session with Australia’s grants experts guides you through the tried and tested, best-practice must-haves for setting up a sustainable and successful grants program, and steps to making sure your organisation is ‘grant ready’.
Kim Boswell
We all come with a backstory on money. Our story creates embedded beliefs, formed and shaped through our life experiences.

The problem is that these beliefs play out throughout our language and lives, invisibly derailing our fundraising acquisition, sabotaging our personal earning potential and ultimately influencing our organisations and their ability to have an impact in the world.

The good news is, you can break the cycle; uncovering your hidden money beliefs, shifting the energy and moving forward with ease to smash your goals. We know our mind affects our reality and waking up to the impacts of our mindset of our bottom line and taking the practical steps towards shifting it is a huge gift to our fundraising staff, volunteers, ourselves and the many people that benefit from our work.

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers / AASB 1058: Income of Not-for-Profit Entities/ AASB 16: Leases

Professional Accounting bodies have warned that AASB 15, together with AASB 16, represent the most significant change to financial reporting since the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption in Australia in 2005.
The new requirements are expected to result in better matching of income and related expenses as income recognition will now be deferred when there is a performance obligation or any other liability.
Under the new income recognition model, a NFP first considers whether AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers applies to a transaction or even a part of a transaction. For AASB 15 to apply to a transaction, the performance obligation(s) arising from the transaction needs to be ‘sufficiently specific’ and ‘enforceable’.
Where AASB 15 does apply to a transaction or part of a transaction, the NFP applies the general AASB 15 principles to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. When AASB 15 does not apply to a transaction or part of a transaction, the NFP then considers whether AASB 1058 applies.

Organisations will need to consider impacts which include, but are not limited to, the following:

·         The timing of recognition and amount of revenue recognised may change

·         changes to the organisation’s systems, processes and controls may be required

·         extensive new financial reporting disclosures may be required

AASB 15 is effective for accounting reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

Effective for accounting reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, AASB 16 removes the concept of operating and finance leases for lessees, replacing it with a single accounting model. Property and equipment leases previously recognised off-balance sheet will be accounted for as right-of-use assets with associated lease liabilities, bringing more transparency about an organisation’s future lease commitments.
Implementing the new leases standard is expected to pose financial and operational challenges, especially for organisations that lease large numbers of assets, hold long-term or complex leases, or have service contracts with embedded leases. Many organisations are not yet well progressed in implementing the standard, despite the effort expected to apply the accounting change.

AASB 16 is effective for accounting reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

This workshop will give attendees practical insight into the accounting processes required to account for revenue recognition under AASB 15/ AASB 1058 and account for leases under AASB 16 in the Not-For-Profit environment.

So much of the focus in charity conversations lately is about digital fundraising and social media but it’s important to remember that engaging people offline and in real life can be really valuable too.

Things like community events, peer to peer fundraising and crowdfunding are not only opportunities to fundraise for your cause, but are excellent for friend-raising.

This session will provide key details and practical take-aways about each of these activities, so you can effectively and efficiently build your community.
Michael McGann
Organisations are being forced to clearly articulate what they stand for, justify how their funds are spent, prove the outcomes they are achieving, recruit mission driven employees and engage supporters and donors.
At the same time the 2018 ACNC Trust survey suggests that public trust in charities is declining.
In this session we’ll take a look at what role your organisations’ brand plays in managing this complexity and present suggestions for strategic brand management.
