Do not have proper accounts

MarC does not have accurate and timely financial data in order to make good decision for its non-profit organization. Without accurate financial information, it could lead to unnecessary shortages of funds.

Having paper-based processes

Using paper receipts can cause accounting mistakes, such as losing crucial information about the non-profit organization's transactions made. Without proper financial data, MarC is not able to track its spending accurately.

Do not have financial statements

MarC does not have a clear picture of current financial performance. So they cannot make financial planning properly and orderly. It can result in overspending, spending money without proper planning, and can result in the club getting a prolonged deficit.

Recommendation to MarC on how to improve their financial reporting process. 

# data[].attributes.body
Prepare the financial statements in each month

MarC should prepare the financial reports regularly so that it is able to evaluate the financial health of its non-profit organization and that all the financial information is documented correctly.

Record all the transactions

MarC should record all the transactions, whether in and outflow process in their entries. This would avoid the loss of receipt or information and also can lessen the mistake in managing the finances of the organization.

Manage fund properly

MarC should organize their fund and source of income wisely. For example, they might charge a registration fee for any program or member’s fee once for each people.
