Project Description

Financial Management Advisory for Investment Ready clients in Africa aims to further improve the financial management capabilities of potential IFC investment in the African region through a set of designed advisory tools focusing on four main technical pillars: 1. Improving finance department structure and organization; 2. Enhancing working capital management practices; 3.Reviewing and upgrading client’s management information systems (MIS); and 4. Supporting compliance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and/or local standards. The project will include two offering types (Standard & Bespoke) based on a framework of pre-determined criteria that require varying degrees of engagement and tailoring. 1. Standard Offering: Provides an entry point to engage with a wider range of clients. Leveraging the FMA in-house assessment tool, clients are offered a detailed assessment to identify key challenges across the four intervention pillars, and benchmark against best practices. 2.Bespoke offering: Provides clients with the tailored offering, each client engagement will be designed to address key clients’ bottlenecks in order to mitigate investment requirement on a case-by-case basis.
