Navigating Financial Health – Illiquidity vs. Insolvency


Listen Later

Understanding financial concepts is critical for non-profit board members, and in this episode, we break down two essential yet often confused terms: illiquidity and insolvency.


These financial states can significantly impact an organisation's ability to fulfil its mission, and knowing the difference is key to proactive management.


We cover:

  • The distinction between illiquidity (short-term cash flow challenges) and insolvency (a deeper, long-term financial issue)
  • Real-world examples of non-profits facing these issues
  • Strategies for boards to manage illiquidity and prevent insolvency
  • The importance of aligning operations with financial realities and building reserves
  • How to use financial metrics to anticipate and mitigate risks
  • Join us as we explore the proactive measures that non-profits can take to remain financially resilient and continue making a positive impact.
