Opis

This book presents practical ways to build financial management capacity in an international development context (although much of it applies to any non-profit organization). It describes good practice in the specific tasks of financial management - for example, planning and budgeting and financial controls. It gives examples of how groups and organizations build their own capacity.

Strengthening financial management capacity is key to achieving more effective organizations. With strong financial management capacity, the group or organization becomes more able to control its own affairs. Without it, the future is often uncertain: it may be impossible to predict when money will be short and, crucially, it may become impossible to fund programs. Building Financial Management Capacity should be read by program staff and managers of non-government organizations, larger community-based organizations (CBOs), and charities, as well as for large NGOs and donors working with their partner NGOs and CBOs. The content can also be used in training courses, and university and college courses for international development workers.
