NGOs You Can Support to Spread Light and Hope on Diwali

To extend your warm wishes beyond friends and family, let’s look at NGOs you can support working tirelessly to fulfil their mission: bringing light into people’s lives.

As the sun sets on Diwali, it’s a time to reflect, rejoice and renew our spirit. This special occasion celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

The #1 Thing People Get Wrong About CSR in Mauritius

Are you familiar with the legislation of CSR in Mauritius? If so, you know that Mauritius companies must contribute 2% of their after-tax profits towards NGOs. While this is a commendable initiative for businesses to display social responsibility and do good within the local community, there is one significant misconception people make about this law – they think it’s just another way for companies to get out of taxes.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandates can burden some business operations if improperly executed. This blog post will dive deeper into the complexities of corporate CSR standards in Mauritius and how essential it is for today’s businesses to align with government regulations when engaging in socially responsible activities.

A Career in the Non-Profit Sector for Finance People

Finance is one of the most popular and sought-after career paths. With the attractive salaries and faster career growth opportunities it offers, the finance field does not lack aspiring professionals. Similarly, there is no lack of finance job openings in the private or public sector.

However, the newer generations have shown an inclination towards job fulfilment rather than financial benefits when choosing their careers. They seek more than just high salaries. Their job is an extension of their passion rather than just a way to earn money. Generations Y and Z notably hold a strong social conscience, having grown with the internet, a tool that allowed them access to understand and societal issues on a global scale. Unlike the older generations’ traditional belief to give back to society after reaching a certain level of wealth and a strong position of financial security, the younger generations believe in contributing towards society’s wellbeing through their work. We often see young graduates venturing into the non-profit sector rather than the private or public sector. Their drive to do good while earning a living pushes them towards a career in the non-profit sector.

The One Thing All Successful NGOs Have in Common: A Robust Financial Framework

 “The ‘financial framework’ is the term for the policies, procedures, regulations and standing orders we use to make sure we’re taking proper care of public money.” – Powys County Council

Similar to a business, it is imperative to establish a robust financial framework for an NGO. A financial framework provides an organised system that guides and supports the financial operations and structure of the organisation.  It includes internal financial control mechanisms to prevent financial mismanagement such as misuse or theft of funds and assets, non-compliance of an organisation or government policies and regulations, and inaccurate financial reporting. NGOs also face several problems, including inadequate resources, lack of capacity building, lack of performance measurement instruments, and inefficient management. Setting up a proper financial framework will help resolve some, if not all, of them.
