Project summary

Biom has been growing very fast and there is a serious need for sound financial management, including all relevant financial procedures.

Biom’s priorities related to organisational finances are the following (source: QAS 2015): 

  • No formal written and appropriate financial procedures

In this project we would like to focus on setting up the supporting structures for our organisational growth. This is in line with Biom’s Strengthening Plan that also recognizes the need for creating formal written financial procedures. 

The objective of the project is to improve financial management to optimize performance and support sustainable organisational growth.
