We have helped hundreds of organizations develop new policies that align with international standards and industry best practices. These modernized back-end processes ensure that our client organizations stay fit for the future in an ever-changing global development landscape.
Often, large federated nonprofit organizations want assistance developing financial policy and procedure manuals that are comprehensive enough to include all internal controls and ensure adequate accountability across their member offices.
We have previously supported several large international NGOs by producing these global financial procedures manuals.
Our Approach
We have a standard format and approach to developing key policy and process documents for clients that is based on industry best practices and is continually being improved. Our approach is designed to ensure that the policies and procedures being revised or developed:
Are compliant with your reporting and regulatory requirements
Clearly assign responsibility for key policies to individual positions/teams
Use plain language to help users understand them and keep jargon and acronyms to a minimum. A glossary containing definitions of any technical terms is always included
Provide the scope and clarity for individual country offices to have the flexibility to adapt policies to local operating requirements through a modular format with version control
Help the organization manage the internal risks they face on a day-to day basis
Ensure that the organizations have an effective financial management and internal control framework in place to meet the demands of an increased accountability to both internal and external shareholders
