PCO has sound financial systems that ensure transparency, accountability, judicious use of resources including efficient financial policies, systems and processes. Financial processes follow a Field Financial Manual (FFM), which is based on Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAPs). The FFM provides the guidelines on grants management and expenditure. To ensure financial information integrity, PCO utilises Quick Books Systems Accounting Package to input, track and monitor all financial transactions and this system can accommodate different donor requirements in real time. PCO financial records are audited as required by donors of various projects, as well as internally by a team of auditors drawn from the country and regional office.
