AMAN Kaltim is currently implementing a community empowerment projects for the indigenous groups of people in seven villages in two provinces sponsored by the Asia Foundation. The project location is very far from the head office, so the staffs in the field need to do financial reporting (in simple way) and then submit it to the Finance Department at the Head Office in Samarinda. In addition, AMAN Kaltim has also other funding sources for the daily operations but only in a small amount.
The financial management for the project and organization is controlled by the head office in Samarinda City, and the financial reports of the activities in the project site are prepared by the field staffs. The financial reporting is done by using the system provided by donor.
For the financial reporting of the project, in general they could make it but for the overall organization's financial management, they need to learn. The things that need to be learned include organizational financial planning, cash flow management, budget control, developing organizational SOP of financial procedures.
In East Kalimantan, AMAN Kaltim institution has a special position because they have a high concern and commitment to empower indigenous groups which have been positioned as marginalized groups. Organizational capacity building is crucial to provide the ability to manage issues and execute programs in the field that are increasingly complex.
AMAN Kaltim has the potential to work with several donor agencies in the future, so that financial management will be more complex. To anticipate this, the mission on training on financial management becomes very important.
