SAVE THE DATE: STRATA COMMUNITY EDUCATION SEMINAR SERIES RETURNS THIS OCTOBER

Where Does the Money Go? Demystifying Body Corporate Finances

Save the date! The Strata Community Education Seminar Series returns this October, with events across five Queensland regions and a new topic that affects every body corporate community.

Every year, body corporate committees and owners are faced with important financial decisions that can have a lasting impact on their community.

How are budgets actually determined? Why do levies increase? What are body corporate funds being used for? And how can committees plan effectively for both today’s expenses and tomorrow’s major works?

This October, Smart Strata, in partnership with Archers the Strata Professionals, will bring the Strata Community Education Seminar Series to the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Mackay, Brisbane and Cairns to explore:

Committee Essentials: Understanding Body Corporate Finances

Where Does the Money Go? Demystifying Body Corporate Finances

The seminar will take attendees on the financial journey of a body corporate, exploring how effective budgeting, financial management, legislative obligations and long-term planning work together to support a financially sustainable community.

From preparing annual budgets and determining levies to managing everyday expenses and planning for future capital works, the series will help unpack the processes behind the numbers and provide committees and owners with a clearer understanding of how their body corporate’s finances are managed.

With practical insights from industry professionals, attendees will gain a better understanding of the responsibilities involved, the professionals who contribute to the process and the factors that can influence a scheme’s financial position.

Whether you’re a committee member, lot owner or strata industry professional, this series will provide valuable education to help you better understand body corporate finances and contribute to more informed financial decisions within your community.
