Grant audits

Grant audits

Donor scrutiny, compliance, and audit requirements are ever-increasing. And when funding and project management is this complex, you need specialist support to handle the scrutiny. That’s where we come in. 

Our dedicated Charity and Not for Profit team works with various funders of the International NGO sector. These include the European Commission, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Swedish International Development Coordination Agency (SIDA). Understandably, these institutions need to be sure their money is spent as intended, reasonably and legally.
