Webinar:

What a great Chart of Accounts looks like

And how to get one

Join Bec and Julie, Chart of Accounts superstars from LGiQ, as they run through why your council’s Chart of Accounts is one of the most important datasets your council has and how to ensure you get the most out of it.

This webinar will share lessons learned in the setup and management of the Chart of Accounts to ensure your council gets the information it needs to make the decisions it needs to make. From best practice in managing the existing Chart of Accounts to what to think about if a GL restructure is on the horizon. Useful for any council looking at GL restructures or needing to get greater transparency on council revenue and expenditure.
