Financial Information and Management

This is an organization development guidebook. Why did we include a chapter on financial information? A good organization will fail if it does not have enough money. Financial management balances costs and sources of funds over the long term. It helps an organization survive.

There are many books written about financial management. This chapter summarizes building blocks and best practices, including accounting, financial reports, budgeting, management reporting, financial planning and management of assets, risks and grants. The examples include financial information and selections from terms of reference for key financial management studies at Jerusalem Water Undertaking. The exercise offers the Financial Litmus Test - a quick way to see if your financial systems are giving you the information you need on a timely basis.
