Which audit your organisation needs
Financial statement audit of an NGO
Review of the year’s balance sheet and statement of financial results, targeted financing, assets and payroll. What the auditor checks: annual NGO audit.
Mandatory audit of NGOs and foundations
When an audit is required by law and when by a donor or the charter: mandatory NGO and charity audit.
Grant project and grant fund audits
Audit of grant funds against the budget and the donor agreement, report in the EU, GIZ, UN agency or foundation template: grant audit for donors.
Verification of grant use
Audit of the targeted use of grants, charitable appeals and founder funds when the review is commissioned by a donor, a board or a partner: project and earmarked funding audit.
Capacity assessment and due diligence
We prepare the organisation for the donor’s review: policies, accounting, procurement, internal control: donor capacity assessment.
Non-profit income report, non-profit status
We reconcile the NGO tax report to the financial statements and check the risks to non-profit status: non-profit income report, non-profit status.
Four steps with no surprises at the end
We review the charter, grant agreements and the requirements of the donor or the board, then send a proposal and a plan.
A document list for each area: accounting, grants, procurement, staff, assets. Secure file exchange, remote work across Ukraine.
Questions are raised as we go, not at the end, so you have time to locate documents and fix the books before the report.
Auditor’s report in English and Ukrainian, a management letter and answers to donor queries after submission.
What to read before an NGO audit
What we are asked most often
Is an audit mandatory for a Ukrainian NGO or charitable foundation?
By law a mandatory audit applies only to certain categories. In practice NGO audits are most often required by donors, the charter or the board, and by the terms of grant agreements. We review your documents and tell you which format you actually need.
How does an annual NGO audit differ from a grant project audit?
An annual audit covers the whole organisation and ends with an opinion on the financial statements. A grant project audit covers the expenditure of one grant against its budget and donor agreement, under ISA 805, ISRS 4400 or the donor’s template.
How long does an NGO audit take?
Usually two to four weeks after the complete document package is received. For an organisation running several grants at once we agree the timeline after reviewing the scope.
Do you work with organisations outside Kyiv?
Yes. The review is carried out remotely through secure file exchange anywhere in Ukraine; site visits only where the donor explicitly requires them.
