Each month the cash flow estimates for counterpart funds requirements must be reviewed and<br />
updated. Any changes to the cash flow budgets must be advised to the MEF to help ensure that<br />
counterpart funds are available when required. It is imperative that the cash flow requirements<br />
for Program activities are clearly communicated to the MEF, so as to ensure regular and timely<br />
cash flow is available for Program implementation activities.<br />
4.3 BUDGET MONITORING<br />
4.3.1 QUARTERLY INTERIM (UNAUDITED) <strong>FINANCIAL</strong> REPORT (IFRS)<br />
IFRs are based on the actual results <strong>of</strong> expenditures compared with the budgeted amounts.<br />
Variances are calculated. Quarterly Progress Reports (see Annex) show the progress <strong>of</strong> the planned<br />
(budgeted) Program activities for the three consecutive months. The actual amounts are extracted<br />
from the books <strong>of</strong> the financial accounts and compared with the budgeted amounts.<br />
This report is cascaded down to be prepared on a monthly basis by the National Programs;<br />
PHD’s and Central Office and is submitted to FMG on the agreed date (WITHIN 15 DAYS OF<br />
THE END OF THE MONTH). The Financial Management Group consolidates all the<br />
Financial Management Reports submitted by National Programs, Provinces and Central Office.<br />
Please see IFRs reporting format in (Annex B 1.1 to B1.22 )<br />
4.3.2 BUDGET VARIANCES<br />
Any significant (over spending by more than 10%) Variance as a result <strong>of</strong> Budget and Actual<br />
Expenditures should be explained in detailed manner. Any remedies or solution to the variance<br />
shall also be described and properly explained.<br />
