The 2019 CPD year starts with the annual Charities Conference. The theme for the conference is the evolving governance picture in Scotland. The programme includes legal updates on the emerging codes and guidance for charity trustees and their advisers. The conference also features a case study centred around growth and investment in a service providing charity.
