Like most small-sized NGOs the one thing we don’t have too much of is time, so we
try to keep our financial records in a manner that is easy to manage, but also
allows us to comply with all the various reporting requirements.

By Meg Davis
Asian NGOs and government representatives met in Bangkok from March 29-31 at the Asia-Pacific Regional
Consultation on Universal Access. They consulted together to make recommendations on how to ensure universal access to AIDS treatment – one of the Millennium Development Goals. This time, human rights was included, and it was fascinating to see the process and participate in it.
