About financial accountability in NGOs

Effective and accountable financial management is the corner stone of NGO accountability and sustainability, and a key component of program and organizational management. However, in many NGOs, the organization’s financial planning, monitoring, and reporting systems and how they are integrated into the overall organizational management process still needs strengthening. Meanwhile, the world of NGOs is rapidly changing, and increasingly competitive.
