10 years is worth a book

I spent 11 years working on finance for projects and linking a lot with NGOs on how best to acount for funds they received. Some NGOs are so keen on acounting for every cent and others are keen on 'eating' as much as possible. Others have leaders who have no idea what finance is all  about and leave it all to the Accountant to figure it out - others have all the details in their fingertips and even direct finance on where savings can come from, negotiate for budget modifications etc. I loved the mix of people. But all in all, the best were those community groups that received modest grants and now the training is about them selecting one among them who is literate and we go through how to record and expenses....the very very basics!!

I was motivated to write about it but got caught up and shelved the idea

Now that am back to writing, i should also revive this!
