My approach on this is to sit down my Clients of the NPO’s/NGO’s etc and clearly identify what the entity does, what value it provides to customers andhow the value is delivered in practice.
Discuss how revenue is earned in advance of that first audit, can help ensure i have got the accounting right.
Allow the organisation to demonstrate it’s compliance and financial accuracy to internal, external or regulatory auditor’s with minimal delays thereof.
Key aspects of audit readiness put in place
Financial records must be accurate, complete and compliant with applicable standards such as GAAP, IFRS.
Having well documented and effectice internal controls and processes in place to ensure transparency and accountability.
All necessary documents, policies and evidence must be organised and readily accessible to support the audit at all cost.
Organisation must adhere to all relevant legal, regulatory and industry specific standards.
Audit readiness helps mitigate risks such as financial misstatements, errors or fraud by proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities.
