Managing donor-funded projects is rarely straightforward. Each grant comes with its own rules, financial requirements, and reporting obligations, and any gaps in compliance can put both funding and reputation at risk. For organisations, the real challenge is balancing transparency and accountability while still delivering meaningful results on the ground.
The Advanced Financial Management, Grants Management & Auditing for Donor Funded Projects course by LPC Training is designed to provide professionals with the skills needed to master this balance. Across ten practical days, participants will explore the full grant management lifecycle – from planning budgets and negotiating agreements, through to monitoring expenditure, preparing donor reports, and managing audits. The programme also addresses fraud prevention, internal control systems, and risk management, ensuring participants leave with practical tools they can apply immediately.
By drawing on case studies, group discussions, and real donor frameworks, this course helps attendees strengthen financial stewardship, build donor confidence, and sustain long-term funding relationships.
