ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND EFFICIENCY OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE OREL REGION

Fatima Memorial Hospital is the first charitable Trust Hospital in Pakistan, and its sponsoring body is Ferozesons Trust. In order to continue to provide services to the needy, the Trust needed to continuously improve its financial resources. When Dr. Qureshi took over the charge of the Hospital as its ACEC, he was asked to streamline the management systems to build a lean organization. He decided to outsource the janitorial services as a pilot project to achieve a number of objectives. If the janitorial services experiment proved successful, then the project would extend to laundry work as well. After the janitorial services were outsourced, concerns regarding cleanliness of the Hospital were brought up by patients and the management. They felt that the quality of service being provided by the contractor was not up to desired quality standards. In view of this, ACEC had two concerns: not to de-motivate the contractor; and not to compromise on the quality of service being provided by the contractor.

Task Level

In this paper, we propose extensions to the resource-event-agent (REA) framework to encompass the information requirements of the balanced scorecard and other management systems that incorporate nonfinancial measures. The REA conceptual accounting framework was designed to describe the information architecture related to an organization's economic activity (e.g., McCarthy 1982; Dunn et al. 2005). Geerts and McCarthy (2001b, 2002) extended the original REA to include value-chain level configurations, task-level configurations, and encompass a broader array of business economic phenomena. Yet, the REA framework remains closely tied to its accounting roots, with a focus on economic events and financial resources. A substantial number of organizations are adopting strategic management systems that include both financial and nonfinancial measures to overcome known limitations of systems based on traditional financial data alone (e.g., Said et al. 2003; Eccles et al. 2001; Ittner et al. 2003). We therefore examine whether the REA framework supports the information requirements of this broader domain and propose extensions to fill the gaps identified.

Recommendations For Assessment

In modern conditions of development of the agricultural economy, it is of great importance to ensure the economic security of agricultural activities in agricultural organizations. The economic security of agricultural activities is largely related to the efficiency of the use of material, labor, biological, land and financial resources in agricultural production, and also depends on the state of accounting, internal control and analysis of the facts of economic life in agricultural organizations. Well-organized accounting, internal control and analysis systems allow providing the economic security management system of agricultural activities with all the necessary information to form a mechanism in internal management to protect agriculture from external and internal hazards, threats and consequences of natural disasters. In this regard, organizational and methodological recommendations for assessment and forecasting are proposed.

Learning Management

This paper proposes the deployment of learning management systems to provide virtual environment to higher education in Iraq. In this paper we show that implementing a learning management system (LMS) to manage learning process is within reach even with little material and human resources. This paper proposes an open source popular and free of charge platform called Moodle. We also show that other solutions such as web-based alternatives to LMS are completely unaffordable given the limited financial resources of our universities. The system is aimed for use by university level students and educators (teachers and instructors). Further, a deployment plan is given in this paper to provide a guidance and reference for the implementation requirements and steps of this LMS operation.

And Performance

Increasing access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools improves health and performance among learners. School WASH programs are being scaled-up globally, however little is known about how they are monitored and evaluated. We studied 21 organizations implementing WASH in school programs to assess monitoring and evaluation (M&E) policies and practices. Five barriers emerged: (1) logistical challenges; (2) limited staff capacity; (3) limited funding; (4) inadequate management systems; and (5) socio-political barriers. The findings highlight the need to better integrate M&E into government systems that will endure post-implementation. Further, there is a need to expand the data collected and improve the quality of national monitoring systems. This will likely require additional human and financial resources that can then translate into better planning and budgeting with the end goal of providing a hygienic environment for children to learn and grow.
