Donor confidence you can audit line by line.
Grant accounting, donor reporting, IPSAS compliance and payroll for NGOs, foundations and international development partners — designed to withstand any donor audit.
Where ngos & non-profits finance actually breaks.
We designed our practice around the everyday realities operators in this sector wrestle with.
Multi-donor, multi-project
Every donor wants a different template, currency and cost category.
Restricted-fund tracking
Grants must be spent within scope, budget and time.
Field-office accounting
Remote locations, cash advances and retirement discipline.
Statutory & donor audits
Concurrent audits from FIRS, SCUML, donors and the board.
What happens when it's left unattended.
These are the failure modes we most commonly find in the first 30 days of every diagnostic.
Loss of donor funding
One qualified audit can end a multi-year grant.
Advance retirement backlogs
Un-retired field advances accumulate as balance-sheet risk.
Compliance breach
SCUML, FIRS and CAC obligations often overlooked.
Overhead-recovery loss
Poorly negotiated NICRA rates leave money on the table.
