One of the challenges financial people of international operating NGO’s have is how to manage the incoming donor funds and their outgoing payments in the most optimal, transparent and cost effective way. Due to the change of donor flows, shifting from government to more and more institutional donors, the landscape in which Treasury Managers operate has become more complex. More currencies are involved on both the incoming and outgoing payments flows. Payment terms of the donors to the NGOs are more complex and vary by each donor. Cash flow forecasting is required, FX and FX currency risks need to be monitored and managed. Budgeting of the projects could be done in the local exotic currency of the country of the project, payment terms of the outgoing payments and FX need to be managed and payment and FX providers need to be reviewed on services, price and risk.
Nanette has advised and worked with many Dutch based NGOs and Government on their cash and treasury management business. This client segment is due to the nature of its business active in exotic countries and therefore exposed to exotic currencies. Nanette has worked actively in this particular market segment over the last 7 years and built up extensive knowledge and gained in-depth experiences on all aspects which the CFO or Treasurer of these organisations are confronted with. She is capable of reviewing the “as is” C&TM structure of an organisation, analysing issues, developing the most optimal C&TM structure for an organisation meeting their pre-defined requirements and objectives.
