Financial Management Guidelines - WAGGGS Europe

This document produced by the Europe Office of WAGGGS can help NSOs understand the total picture of financial management and planning. Divided into the following chapters it is easy to find relevant information you need: Policy's on finance, budgeting, accounting, and fundraising. 

Why has this Guide been produced? WAGGGS has produced a Policy and Guidelines on Finance. Whilst this is a useful general guide and it is necessary for Associations to follow this guidance, it was felt that, particularly where Associations are just setting up and developing their policies and systems, a more practical guide would be useful. This document was designed to give Associations practical advice about:

- Policies on Finance - what they are, why they are necessary and how to develop them

- Budgeting - how to create, adopt and monitor a budget

- Accounting - what records need to be kept and what they should look like

- Fundraising - building a strategy, implementation, evaluation
