NGO Audit

Prepare grant, donation and expenditure records for an NGO audit and stakeholder reporting.

Overview

Prepare grant, donation and expenditure records for an NGO audit and stakeholder reporting. Start by identifying the purpose, reporting period and intended users of the work. BIAT can assess the available records and propose an engagement with defined responsibilities and deliverables.

Scope of support

  • Fund-wise receipt and utilisation schedules
  • Donor restrictions and expenditure-evidence review
  • Audit coordination and accountability reporting

Records to prepare

Use this starting checklist to prepare for a discussion. The final evidence requirements are confirmed after the initial assessment.

  • Constitution and registration documents
  • Grant agreements and donation records
  • Books, expenditure evidence and prior reports

Deliverables and engagement planning

The ngo audit scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.

Handover the output

Deliver the agreed records or report and identify any filing, hearing or ongoing follow-up steps.

FAQ

Questions to help you scope the engagement.
Can donor reporting be included?

The agreed scope can include donor-specific financial schedules alongside audit preparation. Report formats and the required independent signatory should be confirmed separately.
