The money received from individual
donations sponsorships and legacy is used exclusively for the programs. In
order to reduce costs, all expenditures are handled by the Balthazar Centre
associations themselves. In the case of major spending requirements, the
umbrella organisation, BALTHAZAR PLANET applies rigorous financial controls.
Another of BALTHAZAR PLANET's task is to ensure that administration costs are kept as
low as possible by all BALTHAZAR CENTRE NGOs.
All activities are punctiliously
monitored by the Financial Department of ADSi and by recognised auditors.
Both internal and external
controls do not only verify that all income and expenditure is properly
accounted for, but also ensure that the principles of economy, efficiency and
effectiveness are observed in all procedures. These measures enable BALTHAZAR
PLANET to direct money where it is most needed.
