Le directeur des finances

In our organization, CFO looks after the budget finalization. After thorough assessment (from program managers), the budget goes to CEO for his nod, thereby approaching the board for subsequent approvals.

Understand Your Organization’s Goals
Before you compile your budget, it’s important to have a firm understanding of the goals your organization is working toward in the period covered by it. By understanding those goals, you can prepare a budget that aligns with and facilitates them.
Estimate Your Income for the Period Covered by the Budget
To allocate funds for business expenses, you first need to determine your income and cash flow for the period to the best of your ability.. Identify Your Expenses
Once you understand your projected income for the period, you need to estimate your expenses. This process involves three main categories: fixed costs, variable expenses, and one-time expenses.

Marketing Analyst, to provide technical marketing support. To determine a better way to price their services. Marketing Analyst needs, financial and nonfinancial information, such as the number of contracts per client.

The Director will use the budget to know how much has been allocated to the division to know if some projects can be droped or put on board. The Donors will also use the budget to ensure funds are allocated to the actual set cause.

in an organisation, budgets needed by CEOs to know how much money they will use for the year and how to exert control over funds; donors to know how much to disburse and how it will be used.

The program team ideally used the budget to implement programs alloted for this year while Finance team provides technical support and ED/PD oversees the spedning and impact.

The board in the organisation I work for is responsible for discussing and approving the budget, ensuring that it aligns with the set goals and objectives. It's main focus is to exercise accountability to the donors by ensuring that there is transparency in how funds are managed. The boards needs to use the budget so that it can control and monitor how income and expenditure aligns with donor needs. There is need to set strategy and structure that guides how the organisation implements its budgeting process.

In my case, the program team and admin will use the budget.They would need to prepare their programs and activities depending on what is in the budget.

The employees in my organization contributor the labor form of capital in the factor of production chain. They receive their salary or wages from the company, and the company might also offer them job security or career prospects. To this end, they want to be guaranteed of the liquidity and solvency of the organization as this ensures they would not be out of job unexpectedly.

For my organization, the chair of the diaspora chapter, chair of the Africa chapter and the financial team will need to use the organizational budget. They will need to know each departments expenditure and income generation, overhead, and projections. They will be able to determine various departments performance and how the organization is doing in general.

Pour notre budget organisationnel, les membres du conseils administratif, l'équipe des finances ainsi que le chef de service utiliserons le budget organisationnel. Ils devront connaitre les dépenses et la génération de revenus, les frais généraux et les projections de chaque ministère. Ils devront être en mesure de déterminer les divers des différents départements et la façon dont l'organisation se porte.

The budgeting process in my organisation is essential for first, the board of governors who have to review and approve the budget before it is implemented. The director general has a major stake in the process because he is responsible for providing direction, setting objectives and coming out with goals and strategies to facilitate the preparation of a feasible budget. The finance team, directorates and department heads are also involved in the process. They contribute immensely to the process by providing expected activities for execution in the budget year. The finance team helps with the provision of data on revenues and expenditures incurred in the previous and current budget year to ensure adequate projections are arrived at for the organisation. They also help in monitoring the progress of the budget

For our organization our board members, executive director and funders need to use our organizational budget. They will need to know our overhead costs as well as individual program costs. One person who will need to see our organizational budget is our largest individual donor. She needs to see how much we are spending on each item and what percentage of the overall donation went towards each overhead and program costs.

The program team need to know the activity that will implement and also know the resource allocated to the activity. The Finance team to provide technical support to ensure that all activities that are being implemented are approved and to void ineligible expenditure

For the Blessed Age Foundation, the Executive Director will work with the finance team to prepare the budget and submit it to the board of directors for reviewing and approval. The Executive Director will need the approved budget to inform himself on how much is available for the day-to-day running of the Foundations operations. He will also use it to guide his decisions on keeping expenses within the limits of the budget.

As for our organisation, the funders will need our budgets so as to plan how their goals match our objectives and how they can fit in to help us deliver our annual activities. Additionally, these funders will need our budget so as to serve as scouts for more funding for areas that are not their niche, but we provide services for. All these are to ensure humanitarian services are provided on a large scale, and as per grand and donor requirement.

Maybe who knows

Wow it specific

Nice to know

it too tough but you can understand

One person that will need to use my budget is the Finance team.
with the budget, it will help the finance manager and the management to plan activities and to also informed decision bearing in mind available funds.it can also help them to know the needs to raise funds.

In my organazation the finance team and program manager are the most role and will need to use the organazational budget. In the finance team there are two budget coordinater one is for treasure and the other one for project. And also each departments have a knowledge how to control and spend their budget.

in previous organization that i used to work, there we used to make a consolidated report of expenses for all the centers and share it with the donor and then we could claim for another installment of funds from the donors and the report was most important for the donor as well the CEO and board of the organization.

The project manager needs a budget to implement the purchase of a truck and the construction of field office. This project will contribute to operational effectiveness of logistics and time.

The information needed are the expenditures and revenue that will be incurred. Also, the cost benefit ratio is needed to determine the viability of the projects, either the organization is just wasting money or saving much needed resources. in other words, was the result profitable.

In our organization Board, Directors, CEO, CFO, COO need the budget. The board does the approval of the proposed budget presented by various departments at the beginning of each Fiscal Year. Next year the review is done of the proposed budget and how much deviation was there.

In our NGO, our donors or funders are the principal persons we prepare a budget for (as a Program Officer alongside the finance team, under the supervision of our CEO). They need sufficient details to understand;
-The specific amount of funds needed.
-The specific areas where the funds will be spent in order of priority.
-To save it as a reference for review after execution and reporting to evaluate how performant our budgets are.

The program managers will need to use the organizational budget, they basically need to know how much resources is available to them though the year, also they not only need to be part of the budget drafting process but they need to ensure the budget matches reality.

The Operations team will need to use the budget, this will enable them plan for their project and have a project, the Business Development Team will need to update the operations on the number of contracts won and the Finance team will need to update the operations on the fund allocated to the team annually for operations.

The ED and directive team need to have access to the budget to: inform donors on how expenses are made, make decisions on what and when to spend, and create specific budgets to submit to donors. The program managers need to know what the available funds can be used on, and plan on when to use them. The board needs to know if the entire plan makes sense and if we can maintain the type of work we're doing in the near future with the available funds and the incoming donations.

In my organization, budget is required by CEO to set limits to other departmental expenses, coordinate activities and check other areas of budgeting that requires improvement. Departments require budget to check if their expenses are well taken care of.

In my organization I think that the main people that should have knowledge of the budget is the staff members that work alongside with the community and volunteers. This is because a lot of times during conversations people come up with ideas and dream of the things we could do, but without a budget knowledge then it's for nothing.

Users of an organizational budget are many. To shed more light on this point let's talk about Green point logistics, Departmental managers, Directors, Donors and drivers all have access to the annual budget. We sample few driver representatives during this phase.

They all expect to know how much money will be distributed among the arms of the organization.

In my organisation, Cheif of Party, Country Director, coordinators, program lead also need to see the budget for their inputs before final approval .

For our organization, the abovementioned stakeholders need to use our budget. But it is most especially true to our program managers who are responsible in conceptualizing programs, projects, and activities. Thus, they need to be involved in the budgeting process in order to know if the conceptualized programs are relevant, achievable, and have a reasonable budget.

In my Organization, the CEO needs to to oversee the budgeting process. She ensures that the process is going according to schedule and well coordinated.
The CEO should have sufficient information to ensure the financial sustainability of the organization or Agency.

Those who can see our budget in the CEO,the board members, funders, and the financial team. Its imperative to them to know the ; overhead income and expenses, operational income and expenses , the projections and the success of the past fiscal year.
This will help them in assessing the overall performance the organisation.

In the current project we are working on, the program Manager need the budget across the budget lines and how much is allocated for, while the ED supervises the expenditure. The financial officer ensure that the expenditure as based on allowable and non-allowable cost following the financial police of the organization.

In my organization, Nyimba Misson District of; The board of Directors needs the budget inorder to review it, then give approval if is in line with organization set up goals and objectives for that fiscal year. They ensure that the budget is SMART; Specific, Measureable, Realizeable and
Time bound.
They also ensure that is fiscally sound and meet laws and regulations.
To achieve this the board needs sufficient details to ensure that all income and expenditures are in line with laws and regulations. They need to understand how the annual budget will further the organization's mission.

For my organisation the ceo needs to know the income and expenditures are in line with laws and regulations he needs to understand how the annual budget will improve the organisation mission.

They will need to know each departments spending and income generation, overhead, and projections so that is there is any insufficiency, it can be easily solved . They will need to be able to determine various departments input and its output and find out how the organization is performing as a whole.

The Finance Team Project Manager, Board Members and ED will need to know details about the budget. They need to make their inputs as there are allotments of budget for each of their department. With this, if there is any error in the budget, it will affect the organization directly or indirectly. In this light soliciting the views of those stakeholders will minimize problems in the budget.

The department managers will use the organizational budget to understand their approved guidelines for the fiscal years regarding their specific projects and any other planned work. Along with a workplan that is aligned with the organization's strategic plan, the department managers will work with their respective teams to implement and review their expenditures and income for the year.

The first person who to know about the budget estimates is the company owner (shareholders). The main reason for this is to the amount of resources he needs to commit to the business in the current year and the possible returns at the end of the fiscal period. The finance department will also need the budget so as to allocate the available resources to the respective departments and for follow up purposes to know if the fiscal year was profitable or not.

@Kudzainyabadza12345 said in Module 1: Discussion:

In my organisation there is need of my CEO and finance department including site manegers to know my budget requirements cause their are the ones who approves them

For us our board members, program assistant and funders will need to use our operational budget. Our board members are very hands on and help with the formation of the budget since we are still small. They need to know info about the programs we have where we're spending and what's coming in and from where. The program assistant needs to know the budget to know how much is available for materials etc to run that program. They are usually involved in any budgeting meetings we have as well. Some of the funders (grants and sponsors) ask to see our budget to see how much we're anticipating raising as most of them have set aside specific amounts for orgs based on their operating budget income amounts.

In my organization, the Finance team needs to use the budget, this would help them have all information relating to all income and expenditure.
The Executive Director, needs to have a copy of the budget with him to ensure that the financial sustainability of the company is in tandem.
The Program Department also needs the budget to know and plan their activity according to the drafted budget. This is to avoid working below/overboard the budget prepared. It keeps them in check.
The funders, as well need this document to see if funds are micromanaged or adequately used for its intended purposes.

For our organization, board members, the ED, the financial team and department managers will need to use the organizational budget. They will need to know each departments spending and income generation, overhead, and projections. They will need to be able to determine various departments input and how the organization is doing overall.

The Operation manager need to knew if all the departments are inline with the budget they asked before the year start

in our small organization, currently for an event, it was really challenging that we dont have a master budget where can look for reference foe setting program budget

The department manager will need to know about the organization so they will be aware of the department funding available to them.

Their knowledge of local social, economic, political, and ecological conditions provides the yardstick against which proposed solutions must be measured.

We are a small organization of about 10 to 15 staff hence one person who will use the organizational budget will be the project manager. Being the one implementing the project they need to ensure that the budget is aligned with the realities on the ground and caters for everything that might be required

For our organization, Edo State Hospitals Management Agency, Board of Directors, the Executive Secretary, the financial team and departmental managers will need to use the Organizational Budget. They will need to know each departments expenses and income generation, overhead, and projection of revenue generation. They will need to be able to determine various departmental input and how the organization is achieving its overall goals.

the PMU needs the budget to plan for the activities and recruitment need, the finance team to support and monitor the progress of the budget, and the funder they require monthly finance report about the programs they fund.

In my organization, ensuring effective communication and alignment with the organizations' set goals and objectives necessitates that key stakeholders have access to comprehensive budget information. This includes the headquaters team comprising four members, the country directors, finance team, and project managers. These members play crucial roles in overseeing and managing the organization's finances, thus require a clear understanding of various componenets such as operating expenses, overhead expenses, direct and indirect expeneses, as well as the organization's income.

In my company the CEO, program managers needs to know the budget so that they can be able to make informed decisions on the activities to be undertaken throughout the year

That's good to hear

Very touching

The CEO will need to approve the budget, so funding can be released.

A standardized system makes it easier for the organization to operate smoothly and track all its income and expenses so that all stakeholders can also access such information any time its needed. For my organization, the ED who will need the budget because she will have to be certain that we are able to complete all activities planned for the fiscal year. The department head will also require the budget to ensure depart project activities are timely implemented

Donors, Project Lead, Project administrator and Research finance department. They will need to how the various amounts of money/resources allocated for different project activities are spent and if they align with what was budgeted for. They will also be interested to know the burn rate of the project funds by checking the balances and comparing that with the project term.

Donors will want to see if the expenditures are in line with the rules and regulations
Project manager will want to track the balances and sustainability of the project
Research finance department want to see if the expenditures are in line with the rules and regulations of the university

The Fundraising Coordinator relies on the organizational budget to plan fundraising campaigns and events. They need detailed information about allocated funds for different initiatives, expense breakdowns, and historical data on past campaigns' costs and returns. This enables the Coordinator to strategically allocate resources, set fundraising targets, and evaluate the success of various fundraising efforts.

In our organization CEO and the board members have to use the organizational budget, their role is to oversee the budgeting process

In my organization the Executive Director will need the budget to review, make necessary adjustment based on his knowledge of fiscal policies and the direction he wants the company to go, then approve the budget for implementation.

For our organization The board members, COO, Finance Manager and Team Leads uses our organizational budget and will need to know how the funds are being allocated to ensure stability within the organization.

In our organization, the shareholders, the board, the CEO and the Finance Manager will need to know the annual budget. The shareholders need to know the Income & Expenditure plan for the year to approve it at the AGM. The Board will need this budget in order to monitor the work of the CEO on implementation. The CEO will need to approve departmental expenditures based on the budget, and to monitor that monthly expenditures are within the budgets and monthly incomes are leading towards the planned annual income. The Finance manager will request spending on activities that only appear in the budget

A lay leader heading up the social justice team will need to know what resources are available to them so the team can plan their activities for the year. The team may have interest in addressing a number of issues in the community and will have to prioritize and choose which to focus their time, energy and funds on depending on how much funding is available to them.

In our organization, we have 4 stake holders who will have to use this information but i will focus on the Board. The Board's contribution in budgeting is to review the proposed budgets, advise were possible, approve the budgets if they are fiscally sound and abide but the rules and regulations. They need to ensure that the budget is direction to achieve the organization mission. They also need to have all the details in relation to the incomes and expenditures of the organization.

A lay leader heading up the social justice team will need to know what resources are available to them so the team can plan their activities for the year. The team may have interest in addressing a number of issues in the community and will have to prioritize and choose which to focus their time, energy and funds on depending on how much funding is available to them.

In actuality, my organization monitors cash flow on a monthly basis, producing a cash flow report that is distributed to staff and the finance committee. (It is the treasurer and finance committee chair who do the monitoring, with assistance from the administrator.) This seems to work well for the size of our organization and the volume of our income and expenses. We have been in existence for about 75 years, and have been in our current location for about 15, and neither our income or expenses changes rapidly over time except when we've taken on an occasional capital expense (building purchase; building renovation). Also, we have enough reserves to protect us if we do have a month when outflow is greater than inflow. (I haven't been close enough to the budgeting process to know if that ever happens, but I do know that we have reserves.) So monitoring cash flow on a monthly basis is frequent enough to ensure that our finances are healthy without being too often to be useful.

Stakeholder: Program Manager - Elena (fake name, of course)

The department managers, the financial team, Executive Director and Board and will need to use the organizational budget.
