Finance Management

How we help

Resources continue to dwindle against the high service delivery expectations by ratepayers, the general public, government and business. Acknowledging that financial capital is one of the six key capitals in the integrated capitals matrix, resource mobilization capacity, therefore, distinguishes high and low performers in the local government sector. ERM offers advisory services on resource mobilization for local authorities in line with the National Constitution, Local Government Acts and other governing statutes. The formulation and enforcement of by-laws that harness resource mobilization strategies by Local Authorities is key to induce ratepayer compliance, loyalty and the rule of law.
