Use a standard chart of accounts:
• Organise financial data consistently across projects, donors, and periods.

Implement double-entry accounting:
• Record each transaction with a debit and credit entry to maintain balanced books.

Ensure timely data entry:
• Enter transactions regularly (daily or weekly), avoiding backlog.

Perform bank and cash reconciliations:
• Match bank statements, mobile money records, and cashbooks to accounting records each month.

Retain supporting documentation:
• Keep receipts, invoices, contracts, payroll records, and donor agreements.

Conduct periodic internal reviews:
• Have someone (preferably not the person recording transactions) review accounts for accuracy.

Prepare regular financial reports:
• Share monthly or quarterly reports with leadership and, when required, donors.
