605 Securing the future: Investing
fundamentals for housing providers
Huron, second floor
Effective management of capital and other
reserves is more important than ever. Housing
providers have access to limited new financial
resources, and it is critical that financial staff
and board members are equipped with the
knowledge needed to make sound investments.
This session is designed to provide an overview
of investment concepts, including the different
types of securities, asset classes and investment
funds, as well as provide a better understanding
of investment approaches, risk and volatility.

604 Financial dashboards and ratios
City Hall, second floor
Do you know how well your non-profit is
doing financially? Your organization’s financial
statements are a treasure trove of valuable data.
But what’s the best way to get at it? Dashboards
(graphical displays) and financial ratios are clear
and concise, financial reporting tools that both
small and large organizations can use to analyze
their key information. Non-profit staff and boards
will find this session invaluable as a way to
evaluate operating and financial performance.
