Financial & Portfolio Management
The Needs
Community Development Organisations are usually focussed on community needs, rather than financial operations. Financial information is used to meet audit requirements, and often less to generate management information.
Local organisations are often hampered by limited financial capacity and this can be compounded by ever increasing, multiple and sometimes conflicting donor demands, a lack of resources to meet these, a volatile funding portfolio, cash flow problems and a weak reserve position.
