Mango’s Financial Management Health Check

Mango’s Financial Health Check has been particularly designed for small and medium sized not-for-profit organisations (or field offices). This may include Non Governmental Organisations, schools, medical centres, churches etc. It is not designed for the head offices of international organisations.

The Financial Health Check can help you assess the health of your organisation’s financial management. It is designed as a self assessment tool so that you can identify the areas where you need to improve. The Health Check is a set of statements of good practice. They cover all the key areas of NGO financial management. For each statement, you need to consider how well your own organisation is in line with good practice. By the end of the Health Check you will be able to tell if the financial management in your organisation is healthy or sick – and whether you need to call a doctor!

Every organisation is different and financial management systems must reflect this. A ‘one size fits all’ approach cannot work. But the key aspects of good practice are the same for most organisations most of the time. The Health Check focuses on those key aspects. They are the foundation stones of good practice.
