This training allows you to acquire the legal, financial and accounting skills necessary to become responsible for an association, whatever the field of activity, and to ensure its management.
Description of the course
A large number of French people are members of one or more associations; some accept to take on responsibilities within them.
But do they always have the necessary skills to ensure the regular running of the association?
There are indeed a number of legal and accounting obligations that any association manager must know and master.
Specific knowledge can easily be acquired, checked or updated, whatever the field of activity of the association. Certain associative activities are also subject to other more specific regulations (in particular health, sport, youth), which will not be dealt with in any particular way in this Certificate.
Finally, special attention will be paid to the system of financial aid and public subsidies.
