When an agency moves from distributing goods to sending money, the finance function carries a new burden. Funds flow to thousands of households through banks, mobile money operators and voucher vendors, and every payment must be targeted, authorised, reconciled and defensible to the donor. Weak controls here mean lost funds and lost trust.
Five days cover how to cost a cash programme and set transfer values from the minimum expenditure basket, how to build budgets that separate transfers from delivery costs, and how to select and contract financial service providers. You then design payment approval and segregation of duties, manage beneficiary lists and data, reconcile payment files against provider statements and handle failed or duplicate transfers. Further sessions address fraud and diversion risk, audit trails, tax and foreign exchange effects, and donor financial reporting and cost eligibility. Exercises use sample payment lists, mobile money statements and voucher redemption records. Finance officers, programme accountants, grants and compliance managers, cash coordinators, monitoring staff and auditors in NGOs, UN agencies and government safety-net programmes will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house sessions end with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Cash and voucher assistance has become a mainstream way of delivering humanitarian and social protection support, giving people choice and supporting local markets. It also changes the risk profile of an organisation. Large volumes of small payments, new third-party providers and digital identity data create exposure that traditional procurement-based financial controls were never built to handle.
The Financial Management for Cash & Voucher Assistance Training Course equips finance and programme teams to run these transfers with discipline. Participants follow the money from budget to final reconciliation: costing the programme, agreeing transfer values, contracting providers, authorising payments, tracking redemption and closing the books. Along the way they examine the controls that matter most, including separation of targeting, registration, approval and payment roles, verification of recipients and the safe handling of personal data.
The course is built around practical records. Participants analyse payment files, provider invoices and reconciliations to find errors and unusual patterns, and they draft control procedures and a reporting template that satisfy typical donor requirements. By the end each participant has a financial control framework suited to their own programme.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
