Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Management for NGO’s

Course Overview

Most NGOs rely completely on funding and therefore having proper accounting systems in place becomes all the more important. As an NGO you need to be accountable to the donor agencies and individuals who support your cause. With proper systems in place, you can keep track of your expenditures and submit timely reports to them. This would lead to enhanced trust between you and the donor, thereby increasing the chances of your NGO getting continuous support from them. With limited funding, it is important for an NGO to manage all the funds in a careful manner. Furthermore, proper finance systems will also help the NGO maintain financial reports and showcase their entire spending to the regulatory bodies as per the agreed terms.

This post-graduate course is aimed at developing sound financial management which is a crucial aspect of any thriving organization. Professionals who possess financial management knowledge and skills are often at an advantage in the talent market, and by the same token, entrepreneurs seeking to grow a business need to possess these skills to ensure success.
