These milestones are: (1) drastic improvement of the portfolio at risk ratio while maintaining the original value of loans outstanding; (2) increase in collection efficiency as shown in the increase in revenues; (3) decrease in operating expenses mainly due to the decrease in personnel costs in spite of introducing staff incentive schemes; and finally (4) breaking the trend of four consecutive years of net losses.<\/p>\n<p>These improvements have not gone unnoticed. Donors and funders who deserted ARDCI in its turbulent times and ceased release of funds have now returned to support ARDCI\u2019s financial needs. More importantly, other organizations are starting to look up to ARDCI as a model in transforming and improving microfinance operations.<\/p>\n<p>All these were made possible due to the dedication and efforts made by management under the leadership of Mr. Danilo Tiburcio and his able support and operations team led by Ms. Alma Villanueva and Ms. Belen Teves. Without them, the achievements of ARDCI would have not been possible. Mr. Tiburcio\u2019s management team led ARDCI in (1) installing information system that provides accurate and timely information crucial to decision making; (2) improved financial products; (3) rallied the staff to perform better; (4) arrested delinquency and installed policies, systems and procedures to prevent the recurrence of delinquency; (5) improved communication channels within the organization among others; and (6) tightened internal controls and internal audit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 2006, ARDCI&#8217;s financial performance was so dire, it was at the brink of collapse.
