Financial literacy status among non-government organisations’ financial managers in KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa
(Asian Economic and Social Society, 2024-03-15) Mvunabandi, Jean Damascene; Nomlala, Bomi Cyril
This study investigated the financial literacy status among financial non-government organisations (NGOs) managers in KwaZulu-Natal. The study adopted a quantitative research strategy; a Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect data from 53 managers purposively and conveniently sampled in KwaZulu-Natal. Robustness analysis was performed using SPSS version 28 for descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that all independent variables correlate between 1.000 and -.364. This study provided practical and theoretical contributions in the field by deepening an understanding of the key variables identified by this research study, which has been justified by the most relevant literature that drives the financial literacy of NGOs and financial managers. The study further offered insight into constructs for measures of financial literacy in NGOs. This study added to the body of knowledge on the financial literacy of NGOs financial managers in South Africa. The study urgently recommends that NGOs, academia, policymakers, and other key players in the financial literacy field consider the urgent need for financial literacy training or short courses within this sector. These findings urgently call for the attention of the policymakers. This study offered a future research plan on the subject matter in the areas of the true extent of the practicality of financial literacy among financial non-government organisations’ managers that were not addressed in this article.
The impact of forensic auditing techniques on non-government organisations' fraud risk management in South Africa using a proactive approach
(Inderscience Publishers, 2023) Mvunabandi, Jean Damascene; Nomlala, Bomi; Patrick, Harold
Using the quantitative research method, this study empirically investigated the relationship between forensic auditing and fraud risk management, focusing on financial statement fraud among 30 large non-governmental organisations in the eThekwini region. Data was gathered from 87 participants, knowledgeable individuals in the field of forensic auditing and fraud risk management and used for data analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and conventional thematic analysis were used to analyse data. The results may significantly guide NGOs and their funders, auditors, regulators, professional bodies, and academia on the use of proactive forensic audit techniques to proactively prevent, detect and respond to fraud risks in NGO’s context.
