</span>is now in place and ready to tackle governance issues within NCSG to ensure the high levels of transparency and accountability as enshrined in section 2.6 of the NCSG charter in relation to the NCSG Finance committee. The current members of NCSG FC are
Farzaneh Badii (NCSG Chair), Remmy Nweke (NPOC rep) and Thato Mfikwe (NCUC rep). The FC will periodically upload its documents on the

<span style="font-size:9.5pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif" class="">Please note the FC has not been fully operational in past years with no historical financial records or operational guidelines to show for the past FY activities, thus the
current committee intends to build and establish this important pillar of NCSG governance. The NCSG FC does not have an account, has no agreed formula on how funds should be distributed by the NCSG EC to constituencies and has had no visibility within NCSG
activities yet, therefore a solid OP will be critical in getting the ball rolling to put NCSG FC on its right pedestal.<br class="">

At the same time, the Finance Committee would like to know if there are any major points that we (FC members) might missed in the coverage of this Operational Procedure?</p>
