TRAINING PROBLEMATIC

Organisations for Development have a peculiarity in the handling of their accounts and in the presentation of their financial statements. This peculiarity is to a large extent due to the mode of funding, partnership, and  the nature of activities. Moreover, conventional institutions in management do not offer training in accounting and financial management of projects for development. This explains why latest audit missions carried out in some organisations for development in Africa that had not participated in the trainings organised by AGESFO Consultancy since 2000 which brought together participants from Benin, Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Mali, and Niger led to the observation that financial reports established by the later have been questioned or rejected by donors. This difficulty is evident in:

• The poor presentation of financial reports made available to donors.
• The lack of stringency in the handling and follow-up of documents from financial partners.
• The poor organisation of the accounting and financial department.
• The lack of a functional accounting system
• The lack of management tools which facilitates the follow-up of budget execution and treasury especially in organisations with a head office and several branches.
• The lack of management procedures or a partial implementation of existing rules.
• The absence of a self- financing policy.

It is on  the strength of these observations that AGESFO Consultancy sees the need to organise this seminar once again.
