Financial Management Essentials - Handbook for NGOs
Mango's Handbook is a comprehensive introduction to the essentials of financial management for NGOs. It is ideal for those with little experience of finance.
Chapters include:
- Designing a finance system
- Planning and budgets
- Understanding accounts
- Financial reports
- Safeguarding your assets
- Managing audit
The Handbook is not a substitute for a training course! You can learn more about these topics on our highly rated training courses including Practical Financial Management for NGOs: Getting the Basics Right (FM1) and Financial Management for Effective Programmes (FM3).
