Financial Management Workshop

Dear Colleagues, this serves as a reminder that your schools have been invited to attend the above-mentioned workshops.

The Financial Management for Non-Financial Managers workshop has been arranged due to the fact that it was identified in the District Improvement Plan (DIP) and more importantly, the fact that the district has been inundated with concerns from schools pertaining to the misappropriation of funds. As the responsible financial officers at your respective schools, it is imperative that you understand both your role and function in preventing the possible misappropriation of funds.

You are encouraged to send at least one or two representatives (Principal / Financial Officer / Bursar / Deputy Principal). Schools may send a third interested person after first making contact with the PM Co-ordinator (Lesley Hutchings) at the District Office.

Topics for discussion: Role of the Financial Committee; Appointment and R&R of the Financial Officer; Budgeting; Financial Policies and implementation; Practicality of Financial Policies in schools; Procurement and Petty Cash; Internal Control of financial records; Monitoring Finances in schools

The workshop notification letter is again attached for your convenience - fax confirmation of attendance to 0866215725 not later than Thursday 22 August 2013.

Also, attached find an invitation for your school's TLO (high schools only).

Kind regards.
