Panama program trains participants in financial management

The Héroes por Panamá 2026 program is actively equipping its participants with essential financial management skills. A recent workshop focused on International Accounting Standards for Non-Profit Entities, providing attendees with tools to bolster the administration of their organizations and projects.

The norm seeks to speak a single language among non-profit organizations worldwide.

Vanessa De La Torre of Baker Tilly Panamá explained that these standards aim to establish a universal language for non-profit organizations globally. Clear and transparent financial information allows these entities to demonstrate their fund management practices, potentially attracting more resources and building trust with potential funders.

María Guadalupe Guillén, Director of Human Resources and Corporate Affairs at TVN Media, emphasized that this training is crucial for the long-term viability of the participants' social initiatives. While passion drives these projects, Guillén stated, structure and ongoing education are vital for their endurance.

This is part of our commitment to continue helping them professionalize their management.

Héroes por Panamá seeks to highlight and support individuals leading social impact initiatives within their communities. The program underscores the potential for ordinary citizens to become catalysts for positive change across various sectors of Panamanian society. This training initiative is a key component of the 2026 cohort's preparation, fostering growth and sustained community benefit.

We firmly believe that the initial passion with which they start their projects is important, but what will make it last is structure, training.
