In this regard, we should create organizational management control, and internal audit is one of the most imperative factors designed to help an organization accomplishes these objectives, which divides into two major categories: Financial Audit, and operational Management Audit. Many countries’ experiences have shown that from the standpoint that financial audit by itself does not eliminate informational management needs, with considering the advantages, shift in audit strategies toward operational audit which includes management audit and effectiveness audit is inevitable. In this regard, operational audit with integrated assessment of operational activities and organization procedure creates policies and useful methods and help recognized weakness and provide explanation for such flaws and also can pinpoint the opportunities for optimizing operational activities and detecting strength points. It also provides practical suggestion...

...to Introduce Value Based Management in NGOs of Bangladesh Munima Siddika1 Abstract: Presently the rapid growth and diversification of the gigantic NGO sector of Bangladesh has given rise to questions and concerns, about their trade-offs between sustainability and pro-poor orientation; the impact and quality of services; corporate governance; management and accountability. The paper is based on a proposal to introduce a modern management system viz. value based management (VBM) in the NGOs of Bangladesh. Value-based management can be defined as an integrated management control system that measures, encourages and supports the creation of net worth. The report of Transparency International Bangladesh ‘Problems of Governance in the NGO Sector: The Way Out’ (TIB) 2007 is used here as an information source of finding out the flaws of existing management techniques. Finally the paper recommended implementation techniques of VBM in order to regain the image of the NGOs as a pioneer of social welfare in Bangladesh. Keywords: NGO, Transparency, Governance, Management, Strategies, Value Addition, Value Based Management etc. 1. Introduction Bangladesh has largely failed to assist the poor or reduce poverty because of limited resources and faulty planning, while Non Government Organizations (NGOs) have grown dramatically and ostensibly to fill up this gap. There are more and bigger NGOs here than in any other country of equivalent size. Bangladesh’s NGO sector is remarkable for the speed...

...1. Introduction and Background of Budget The Capital Budget of the public sector or sometimes also known as Public Budget concerns how the government plans its revenues and expenditures at the Federal level, State level, and Local government level, to carter for the needs of its development programs and projects. In a democratic society, the division of resources between the public and private sectors is roughly determined by the desires of the electorate. But because it’s such a complex and time-consuming task to acquire adequate political information, the electorate is chronically ignorant. Since the Revolutionary War, democratic system of governance has forever been looking for better ways to inform the public and to design more sophisticated techniques for deciding how best to allocate scarce public resources. Despite the good sense it makes to “budget to a plan”, public expenditures are frequently approved based on who supports what, rather than on a clear understanding of what exactly the expenditures will accomplish. Public Budgeting is not about numbers; it is about making Democratic governance work. During the debates leading to the creation of the American Constitution, taxation and public expenditures were one of the driving forces leading to the creation of our peculiar and complex system of separation of powers and checks and balances. Our various state and local democratic constitutions give the executive branch the power to propose a budget and collect...

Introduction A functional financial sector is essential for economic development. Importantly, a strong financial sector, however, relies not only on the sound organized infrastructure, but also on the ability of its human resources. Human resources are critical in the development of the financial sector. Investments in human capital are influential in shaping the financial services industry where knowledge, skill, competencies and capabilities have become key strategic drivers of productivity, competitiveness and growth (BNM Financial Sector Development, 2015). With globalization, the need for capacity building in any country’s financial sectors becomes even more critical to ensure that experts within the industry will be able to keep up with the new changes brought about by the implementation of the international financial standards, such as IFRIS. In the next decade, there are likely to be many changes...

...abilities of their staff. Beardwell et al (2004) posits that “training is a planned process to modify attitude, knowledge or skill behaviour through learning experience to achieve effective performance in an activity or a range of activities. As it relates to the work environment it serves as a catalyst for development of the individual and to satisfy the needs of the organization”. (p. 313) In the era of globalization the role of the Training Administration Division (TAD) has assumed increased importance in Government’s Public Sector Reform initiative. In 1972 the scope of the Unit under study was expanded under the provisions of the Training Act 1972-25. It was during this period that the government of Barbados recognized the need for increased, more concentrated and effective training of ‘Civil Servants’. This initiative was supported in the Public Service Act, 2007-41 Part V. The Act addressed Management Training and Human Resource Development within the public service. To this end, the Division’s role has been focused on the creation of a training and development environment conducive to fostering...

...their parent companies' directives. Since then quite a few companies have introduced formal planning for a variety of reasons. Some introduced it because their top managements felt that it would help them long term objectives; some introduced it because of a fad, not wanting to be behind by others, and some others because were directed to do so. Many public sector enterprises adopted corporate planning because they were to do so by the Bureau of public Enterprises, the governmental body that regulates all public enterprises. Despite the facts that are now quite a few firms which have introduced corporate planning, such firms still constitute a small minority. On the academic side, research in India on strategic planning has not taken off. There are very few studies on corporate planning practices in India firms. Of late some leading Indian management education institutions have begun to offer short duration executives development programmes on corporate planning. A quick examination of the teaching materials used in these programmes clearly shows a predominance of materials originally developed in the United States. This is not surprising because strategic planning at the enterprise level had its genesis there. Strategic planning or corporate planning is a management process which enable a firm's management to explore the future impact of change and make current decisions to move towards the envisioned future. The Western economies, characterized by a rapid rate of change...
