FINANCES
Control
The Papillon Financial System is run on strict accountability measures, and it includes a Board of Members, a Management Committee, a Treasurer, and an independent Public Auditor.

Year end figures
2002 – R 49 456.00 - deficit
2003 – R 14 642.00
2004 – R 28 426.00
2005 – R 44 445.00


Summary
Some periodic once-off Grants were received during the year, but it is only the small Imvana Trinity Methodist Church that supports Papillon on a monthly basis. Staff salaries and service costs presented a major problem at the start, but most of these are gradually being overcome by converting Papillon’s Projects into self-sustainable entities. However, a long road still lies ahead as all staff at the Organisation currently receive a bare minimum of wages in the form of stipends.
