Sistemas de Informacion Gerencial para Instituciones de Microfinanzas : Guia Practica

This handbook is produced by The Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP), which is a multi-donor microfinance program with its Secretariat based in the World Bank. Technical Series 1 A management information system (MIS) is one of the most critical but least understood elements of a successful microfinance institution. Despite the increasing interest in this area, literature on the subject is still limited. This handbook therefore seeks to: Underline the importance of an MIS to a well-functioning microfinance institution; Provide both managers and information systems staff with basic guidance in selecting, developing, or refining an MIS; Contribute to the development of commonly accepted definitions and terms in microfinance; Provide guidance on important ratios and useful reports for monitoring institutional performance; Fill a gap in the microfinance literature, while complementing earlier work on financial ratios, portfolio management, and MIS guidelines.Waterfield, Charles is the author of 'Sistemas de Informacion Gerencial para Instituciones de Microfinanzas : Guia Practica', published 2001 under ISBN 9781888753233 and ISBN 1888753234.
