Finance Capability Assessment Template (31 slides)

$20.00 $0.00

Assess the financial management capabilities of a public agency or program.

Finance capabilities can include financial planning and analysis, budgeting and forecasting, high quality financial advice, transaction processing, financial information and reporting, costing, internal controls, financial policies, training.  The importance of these capabilities will vary by organization and depend on organizational priorities at any given time.

In a capability assessment, finance capabilities required are assessed based on different states or plateaus that the organization may strive to achieve as per generally recognized common/best practices.  

The template provides a checklist to address the key questions and steps that should be addressed in assessing finance capabilities.  These include (see preview charts):

  • Key capabilities required 
  • Common/best practices by key capability
  • Skills and competencies required
  • Tools and technologies required

You assess the current and targeted level of finance capabilities of the organization based on a five level maturity scale, and report the results of the assessment of each capability so that these can be validated within the organization.  

You will receive an email with a link to download the template (31 slides in a PowerPoint editable format) as well as the Capability Assessment Guide (15 pages in a Word format).
