Management Planning

Finance

An understanding of finances is essential for First Nations communities. Those that are fiscally responsible understand the need for management planning and can undertake long term planning and maintenance of financial systems. Pwi-Di-Goo-Zing Ne-Yaa-Zhing Advisory Services sees its role in this area as transitional:

• providing intensive support and training in the initial stage
• building a community financial planning system that includes budgeting and forecasting; and
• evolving to support, once communities have become confident in financial matters

The initial stage will intensify the level of training and will allow and enhanced consultation by Advisory Services in areas such as systems and system maintenance.

Pwi supports the member communities through our First Nation Financial Advisor position.  The purpose of the First Nation Financial Advisor is to deliver timely and useful assistance, direction, and advice in various areas of finance and accounting.  This support is delivered in the community on an as requested basis.
