Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) face many financial and compliance challenges. Finance staff often work with limited resources and knowledge, which may expose CSOs to financial, legal, and funding risks.
This 5‑day course is designed to strengthen the capacity of finance professionals in small CSOs (annual budget under INR 5 Cr). It will focus on both perspectives (the role of finance in strengthening CSOs) and practices (hands-on skills, tools, and strategies) to build strong financial systems and ensure compliance, accountability, and sustainability for small CSOs.
Who should attend?
- Individuals handling or overseeing financial operations in small CSOs
- Treasurers or board members with financial responsibilities
- Participants should have a basic understanding of accounting, financial statements, and compliance
- Preference will be given to participants from organizations that receive or are seeking institutional funding
(Institutional funding refers to project-specific grants received by NGOs from foundations, other NGOs/inter-charity donations, CSR contributors, and international donors through foreign contribution channels.)
By the end of the course, participants will be able to,
- Understand the regulatory and compliance landscape for CSOs.
