# Overview

Aim

Enough financial staff, recruited and trained and able to manage the programme's finances.

Key questions before leaving head office

Is there anyone already in your team who is able and has the time to:

- Set up temporary financial systems ('survival system').
- Assess financial staff needs.
- Recruit, train and manage the staff you need.
- Develop financial systems.

If you are not sure, ask your organisation to send an accountant with emergency experience to your programme, for at least the start-up period.

Be realistic - don't ask too much of yourself and your team
