At FMS (Francs Management Solutions), our Financial Systems Assessment & Advisory service helps organizations evaluate and strengthen their finance function to ensure compliance, transparency, and efficiency.

We analyze your current finance systems, teams, policies, internal controls, and reporting tools to identify weaknesses and provide a clear roadmap for improvement.

What We Do in a Financial Systems Assessment

 1. Finance Function Review

• Evaluate your accounting systems, bookkeeping methods, and internal reporting.

• Identify gaps that expose your organization to errors, fraud, or donor non-compliance.

2. Policies & Procedures Check

• Review existing finance manuals, SOPs, approval workflows, and compliance checklists.

• Recommend updates to align with IFRS standards, donor requirements, and Burundian regulations.

3. Internal Controls & Risk Management

• Assess whether you have effective checks and balances to safeguard resources.

• Recommend internal audit measures, segregation of duties, and approval matrices to reduce fraud risk.

4.  Technology & Tools Review

• For SMEs: We design Excel-based dashboards that auto-generate cash flow statements, Profit & Loss (P&L), reconciliations, and KPIs.

• For NGOs & Corporates: We advise on ERP adoption and integration to modernize financial reporting.

5. Capacity & Team Skills Assessment

• Review the skills of your finance team.

• Provide targeted training to improve reporting, compliance, and donor audit readiness.
