Description
Financial management units are still not placed equivalent to other working units. Many organizations in their practice still place financial management units as supporting units, with a main duty as cashiers and donor reporting alone. On the other hand, organization leaders mostly have not understood the main aspects of organizational financial management. Considering this situation, while bringing together the context for transparency and accountability that are becoming more prominent, thus together with HIVOS ROSEA a workshop is organized, titled “Repositioning Financial Management in Responding to Demands Transparency and Accountability of Civil Society Organizations in Indonesia” in two sets, 7 December 2011 and 10 January 2012.
The workshop was designed to respond to several main issues, namely: the demand for transparency and accountability by the public and donors is increasing, “disproportionate” perspectives on the role of financial units caused financial units to be positioned on a minimum technical role and the lack of understanding of financial aspects at the leadership level of organizations.
Whereas the primary material presented in this one-day workshop is on demands of transparancy and accountability in financial management of NGOs in Indonesia, the strategic role of financial management, and aspects of financial management that need to be understood by non-profit organization leaders in Indonesia.
