The financial challenges faced by the organization require careful planning, monitoring, and reporting of the available financial resources - one of the core responsibilities of the controlling function. The initiative launched to further enhance controlling, including the preparatory functional and organizational activities for the implementation of a supporting software solution, marks a turning point in management processes and governance. It provides an essential foundation for transparency and future decision-making by the executive management team.
The collaboration with the dedicated employees and management team was open, constructive, and goal-oriented at all times, giving us valuable insights into their work and the important mission of Zentrum ÜBERLEBEN. We were impressed by the team's commitment and were pleased to contribute our expertise in controlling and our experience gained from working with other organizations.

Zentrum ÜBERLEBEN operates in an exceptionally demanding environment, providing medical, psychotherapeutic, and social support to individuals affected by trauma resulting from war, torture, and flight.
As a non-profit organization, it faces structural financial challenges. Funding is based on a combination of public financing and donations, both of which are subject to fluctuations and increasing consolidation pressure. These dynamics create an environment in which financial planning, transparency, and efficient resource allocation are critical to maintaining operations and ensuring the continuous delivery of services.
Zentrum ÜBERLEBEN provides medical, psychotherapeutic, and social work support to refugees who have been traumatized by torture, war, or experiences during flight. Complementary integration and vocational education programs help stabilize individuals to develop new perspectives and regain the ability to lead self-determined lives.
