'Banking for Charities' is a short guide, produced in collaboration with the British Bankers' Association, aimed at those who manage the financial affairs of a charity or voluntary organisation. The guide provides information and practical advice on key aspects of charity banking, from selecting and opening a suitable bank account to understanding fees and charges.

Published in partnership with Sayer Vincent, this guide for charities aims to help them to effectively manage project, operational and strategic risks.

It contains practical steps to follow, case studies from charities, and a variety of different methods to ensure managing risk is not simply a 'tick box' exercise.
