Volunteer Accountants for Financial Capacity Building

9:37:00 PM
Accounting for International Development (A f I D) arranges voluntary placements tailor-made to fit your availability, skills and preferences. We are now supporting more than 150 NGOs and charities across 36 countries and we desperately need the assistance of more volunteer accountants to coach and mentor some amazing local people.
AfID assignments form part of an on-going strategy to build the financial management capacity and long term sustainability of development organisations across Africa, Asia and South America.
Customisable Assignments range from 2 to 52 weeks with a focus on issues such as:
  • Organisational needs assessment/ Risk & Controls Internal Audit
  • Budget preparation and analysis,
  • The review & implementation of financial controls
  • Internal and external (donor) reporting review and guidance
  • Developing financial procedures
  • Financial planning, cash-flow forecasting & audit preparation
  • Coaching & mentoring new or inexperienced FMs/FOs and CDs.
  • Review and development of local income generation activities
The need for skilled accountants is largely driven by a lack of training at local level, combined with the complex reporting requirements of overseas charities (donors). This is further complicated by the fact that these donors will typically restrict funding to individual projects and limit the allocation for core costs.
If you want to use your specialism to help local accountants in the developing world, whether it be during your holiday, in-between jobs or if you are retired, please get in contact and help us make a difference.
