Our next monthly meeting

Financial management is more than keeping accounting records. It involves planning, organizing, controlling and monitoring financial resources in order to achieve objectives. Sound financial management will involve you in long-term strategic planning and short-term operations planning. This financial planning should become part of your organization’s ongoing planning process.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Make effective and efficient use of resources
• Become more accountable to donors and other stakeholders
• Prepare for long-term financial sustainability
