The Board sits quarterly, when the Managing Director presents financial and narrative reports for its consideration and approval.

The Secretariat, led by the Managing Director, carries out RECOAT's programmatic and financial work day to day, supported by a technical team with academic qualifications and experience across project management and community development.

Accountability
Financial oversight & accountability
RECOAT produces financial audited reports annually and maintains a comprehensive financial management policies and procedures manual to ensure finances are handled effectively in support of the organization's work and mandate.
Two qualified staff members are responsible for financial management, ensuring segregation of duties to enhance transparency: an Administration and Finance Manager, who oversees compliance with the financial management policy, and an Accounts Officer, who is responsible for procurement, filing, and bookkeeping of organizational financial records. A Project Director authorizes the requisitions and payments proposed by the Finance Manager.
