5 | P a g e A. Introduction

1.i. Overview

The objective of this Financial Management manual (FMM) is to strengthen the financial management performance of Nutrition Support Program Sindh (NSPS); reduce the cost of information development and sharing and is an attempt to mitigate the institutional memory losses resulting due to staff turnover. FMM is developed as a user friendly, easy to navigate and a self help guide to assist the project staff in effectively delivering on their financial management role. One of the issues faced in Projects is that the relevant rules on financial management have to be traced and retraced to various statute books and pronouncements making it onerous as well as time consuming for the staff, particularly those lacking prior project related experience, to initiate financial management in a timely and efficient manner, consequently influencing Project's fund utilization. Consultations with Projects and the World Bank suggested developing a self explanatory, easy to use, step by step guide to assist the Finance team NSPS.

1.ii. Purpose of the Manual FMM, adopting an unorthodox approach goes beyond description of relevant rules and procedures. It is a 'self-paced guide' designed to take the project staff virtually through the key steps of financial management in the Projects funded under GOS & IDA. The foremost challenge in developing this manual was to design a 'how to do' guide rather than 'what to do', as the former does not simply rely on literature review rather blends it with practitioners' experiences. Therefore the methodology adopted was a mix of:

 Review of relevant literature (Rules, Guidebooks, Manuals of the World Bank and Government of Pakistan and respective Province)

 Visits to Secretariat, Provincial Departments of Finance and Planning and Development to

6 | P a g e review business processes

 Consultations with the Project Staff to identify issues faced in practice and

 Consultations with the World Bank Staff to identify errors in submission of Withdrawal Applications, IUFRs and Annual Financial statements The Manual allows the users a navigational text based interface, while graphical representation illustrates different processes at a glance. Operationalization of FMM is envisaged to be strategized by blending the text book approach where experiences from other projects translated into case studies (providing solutions to pre-identified issues or common errors) will be shared with the participants in training workshops. Finally, wherever the user feels the need for further information, reference to relevant text in the book of statutes is offered in the manual, making it a reference point for all the applicable rules of the Bank as well as of the Government on Project financial management.

1.iii. Applicability of the Manual

This manual shall be applicable to Project Implementation Unit at Provincial Level and will only be used for Nutrition Support Program implemented by Government of Sindh.

1.iv. The Objectives of the Manual

G. Financial & Accounting Control Procedures

1.i. Responsibility

The selection of accounting policies, procedures and administrative control explained in this manual are adopted in concurrence with the AG, CGA and relevant government departments. However, its implementation rests with the Program Manager. The Program Manager will be responsible to adopt all internal control including internal check to safeguard the Project assets from unauthorized use to prevent fraud and misappropriation of funds.

1.ii. Internal Control

The term "Internal control system “means all (the policies and ‘procedures adopted by the management of an entity to assist 'in achieving management's objective of ensuring as far as practicable, the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management policies, the safeguarding of assets, the prevention and detection of fraud

45 | P a g e and error, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting record, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information. A system of internal control has been envisaged in this Manual which provides reasonable assurance that

• Transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization

• Transactions are recorded as necessary (a) to permit preparation of financial statement in accordance with acceptable accounting guidelines specified by the IDA/Donor as provided in this Manual, and (b) to maintain accountability of all assets

• Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management general or specific authorization.

• Recorded assets are compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences

• Preparing and making transparent financial and accounting policies for the Project and ensuring adherence to these policies. These policies would include identification of expenditures, which can be charged to the Project and the categories under which the expenditures would be charged

• Internal check

• Preparation and operation of a budgeting system, and regular monitoring of actual financial performance with budgets and physical targets

• Comparison/cross checking/linkage of financial information with physical information.

• At the transaction level, establishment and operation of policies, procedures and systems for ensuring standard internal controls such as verification of expenditures, appropriate documentation.

• Level of authorization, bifurcation of duties, periodic reconciliation, physical verification etc.

• Establishment and operation of a comprehensive audit mechanism including pre- audit;

• The bank accounts, both IDA Special Account and the Assignment Account are being established only with the designated National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) under authorization from the competent authority. No other bank account shall be .maintained in any other name.

• Continuous review of existing policies, procedures and internal control system

46 | P a g e 1.iii. Internal Check

Government perspectives of ‘Internal check’ within the organization adopting administrative measures is the basic managerial skill being adopted for internal control purposes such as preparation/ checking by one person and checking/approval another person, division of work- etc. If for completion of one operation/transaction more than one or two persons are involved, chances of mal-practices also get reduced. Where collision of many persons is required, the possibility of fraud becomes difficult. Job assignment to accountants and delegation of powers for approvals of purchases, expense bills, issuance cheque are the internal control check measure. (GFR 13 may also be referred to incase further clarification). The Program Manager with the concurrence of the ‘Secretary Health shall ensure that at least once- in every financial year a senior officer not connected with the accounting section undertakes internal check. See attachments - 5, 6 and 7 attached to this section, containing checklists for undertaken the “internal Check” as per GFR-13.

1.iv. Comparison/ Cross checking/ Linkage with Physical data

Linkage of physical information with financial information can be used as a management tool to improve accountability within the organization and transparency and credibility of reporting system. The 'Management Firm (the Firm) managing the program-for vulnerable population sub-groups' would be responsible to review and verily NGOs monthly reporting of physical data submitted by them in standardized format (as per contract agreement) and submit their report to the Program Manager on physical achievements and those needed follow up action.

1.v. Administrative Control

Administrative Control provides a framework for the decision making process within the Program. Some of the policy statements provide special instruction, some delineate levels of authority and responsibility and some provide general policy guidelines to be followed in the decision-making process. Taken together, they are integral part of the system of providing management authorization for accounting transaction the major policy statements are as follows.

• Management Guide : Creation of ‘an appropriate organization structure, sound management practices, establishment of accountability for performance, and requiring adherence to 'rules of law and appropriate standard of ethical behavior represent management’s basic responsibility in establishing an environment conducive to the

47 | P a g e effective functioning of internal controls. A poor control environment might make some accounting controls inoperative if; for example; individuals hesitate to challenge a management override of a specific control procedure. The guidance may also be taken from the World Bank printed materials on: FMRS, FARAH and Procurement Guidelines, and GPRS in establishing the overall control environment because it communicates: (a) Program goals and objectives; (b) Organization structure; (Functional and operating responsibilities; and (d)'Auditing arrangements.

• Segregation of duties: Anyone who records transactions, or has access to assets ordinarily is in a-position to' perpetrate errors or irregularities. Proper segregation of duties recognizes this possibility and provides for the assignment of responsibilities so that different employee handles .different parts of the same transaction. In addition to the segregation 'of transaction/processing duties, there should be segregation between the authorization for a transaction and recording of such transaction in the books of account. For example, a person who initiates a purchase should not verify receipt and authorize payment for the transaction.

• Documentation: Written approval authorizing the transaction is evidence that the action has been taken after vender invoice was compared to a receiving document or that clerical accuracy was check, is an example of effective internal control system.

• Supervision and Review: FMS should satisfy himself that accounts are properly ' reconciled that error or omissions are properly investigated and that established policies and procedures are being followed. It is often desirable ‘to document specific acts of supervision and review. For example, bank reconciliation and bankbook should always be reviewed and signed jointly by the FMS and Program Manager.

In addition' to 'day-to-day supervision, management should' consider whether the policies and procedures with respect to hiring, training and so forth are conducive to the employment of competent, honest personnel. Effective supervision is generally the most effective form of training and developing employees for advancement within the Project and effective implementation of the Project in particular.

From a control standpoint, the Manager Finance should also be satisfied that the personnel performing verification procedures understand the--nature of transactions.

• Timeliness: The concept of timeliness ‘has several factors one is the frequency of review, Which should be considered in deciding whether a control account should be reconciled monthly, quarterly -or annually. The second is the “speed of follow-up in resolving reconciling items appearing in the bank reconciliation statement. Causes for fixed assets inventory .variances should also be investigated promptly. Past due advances should be followed up to minimize losses. Timeliness can also be considered in the context

48 | P a g e of approval. Routine transactions can sometime be reviewed and approved after the fact where exposure to loss from errors or an undesirable level of performance is low. Moreover, this concept- is also important to comply with the fiduciary requirement in submitting the audited financial statements and other reports to the Stakeholders.

• Cost/Benefit Consideration: Requires that the users of Project financial statements be reasonably assured that transactions are executed with .proper authorization, all transactions are properly accounted for and that assets are safeguarded. Reasonable assurance includes the concept of cost versus benefit. Recognizing that the cost of specific controls should not exceed the benefits expected to be derived.

1.vi. Internal Controls procedure over NGOs

The NGO would be selected through open and competitive bidding process. The NGOs would be eligible to bid if' meet certain minimum criteria including: (i) legal status with named officer; (ii) audited financial statements for the last three years; (iii) relevant experience delivering health or social services in Pakistan;-(iv) minimum annual budget amount (USS 20,000 per year); and (V) no prior conviction for financial crimes and consistent history of civil .litigation findings against the organization or key staff. Contracts would have specific measurable goods that the NGOs would be for activating in their geographical area. Bid evaluation of NGOs would be carried by multidisciplinary teams including representatives of the local and governments UN>technical agencies, etc. Monitoring of NGO performance would be carried out by the local and provincial governments on a regular basis and would be supplemented by visits to program areas by third parties. Annual evaluation performance on key indicators could be carried out by third parties. The key would be spelled out in the contracts. As a memorandum record, the accounting section shall also maintain list of all engaged for providing services to Nutrition Support Program.

1.vii. Financial Controls

Financial control refers to the running of a firm's costs and expenses in relation to budgeted amounts. It is a measure of how well a program controls its costs and it is sometimes articulated as how far over or under a budget is and to maintain a system of accounts to devise, formulate, approve, and control the accounting methods and procedures employed by the program and also to ensure all financial transactions comply with procedures and rules & regulations and approving all financial transactions, monitoring accounting practices.
