8. TRAINING IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION
The usefulness of accounting and financial education is to obtain information that allows managers/partners to make better decisions, reducing risk through correct management of available resources.
Jatun Juigua Yacubamba was the first organization that participated in the pilot training plan in accounting and financial education. For six months, the members learned topics such as:
-
Chart of accounts
-
Savings and credit registry
-
Statement of economic situation and balance of results
-
Analysis of results
-
Amortization table
-
Preparation of reports
-
Payment capacity
-
Budgeting
The development of this pilot plan allowed us to identify weak points that challenge us as an institution to correct and incorporate in future beneficiary organizations. Some of them are:
-
Coordination of schedules for the workshops
-
Establish a minimum schedule of three hours per workshop
-
Adapt the analysis of the topics to the target group
On the other hand, we must mention that the group has strengths that guarantee work:
-
People are interested in acquiring new knowledge
-
The members are responsible and supportive
The success of the implementation of this pilot training plan in accounting and financial education responds to the ability to adjust to the beneficiary population.
9. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
The follow-up of the activities will be carried out through: home visits to verify the productions, meetings to analyze difficulties and solve existing problems, recommendations and planning of activities. The families involved in the project will participate.
The activities to be carried out will be compiled through reports, records and photographs, which will serve for analysis in the evaluation.
The progress of the project will be evaluated fairly in terms of the objectives set, in the plan of activities, budgets, goals and impacts. It will be carried out through: visits, interviews with the beneficiaries, meetings, among others. All the families involved in the project will participate in this process.
