HSSP Financial Policies & Procedures Manual<br />

_____________________________________________________________________________________<br />

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 />
