Community Accounts Mentoring Service

Wellington Council of Social Services Inc, Wellington

The Community Accounts Mentoring Service (CAMS) provides training and up-skilling in accounting and financial management by a chartered accountant with adult education experience for community and voluntary organisations in Wellington. Initiated by Wellington Council of Social Services Inc (WELCOSS), the service has been in operation for nearly five years. The service is mobile and works alongside client organisations.

The CAMS Model is available on compact disc (cd-rom) in MS Word and MS Excel format and includes a complete set of all the client forms and guide sheets CAMS has so far developed, together with operational procedures. This free resource is suitable for agencies that support a number of community and voluntary organisations. Family and Community Services in the Ministry of Social Development assisted with funding for the resource.
