A quarterly utilisation certificate is a document provided by an NGO, to a donor, confirming the utilisation of funds received during a specific quarter. It typically outlines how the funds were allocated and spent according to the terms and conditions specified by the donor. This certificate serves as evidence of compliance and transparency in fund utilisation, facilitating accountability and trust between the donor and the recipient organisation. A quarterly utilisation certificate is used while submitting quarterly financial reports to donors.

This resource consists of a basic utilisation certificate template that captures:

1. Key cost heads
2. Planned budget against each cost head, as aligned with the donor
3. Actual expediture
4. Utilisation percentage

This resource is recommended for program teams, finance teams etc.who manage the program budget and is accountable for reporting to donors.
