BDO in Ukraine is a reliable partner for non-governmental organisations

We have extensive and long-standing experience of working with international donor organisations, charitable foundations, international financial institutions. We work directly with international NGO, and therefore understand their unique needs, providing professional audit support through services such as:
 

• Audit of the companies’ financial statements, 
• Grant project reporting audit, 
• As well as other forms of professional support related to the verification and monitoring of grant funds. 

These services help ensure transparency, efficiency, and compliance with local and international financial reporting standards. Our experts adhere to international standards of ethics and independence, applying modern methodologies to guarantee accuracy and objectivity. When providing audit services for grant project reporting, they follow donor requirements and the selected audit standard. That is why reports prepared by BDO in Ukraine, as an independent auditor, are recognized by most international donors. 

Audit from BDO in Ukraine focuses on three key aspects:

1. Financial audit — review of financial statements for compliance with donor requirements or grant agreement conditions.
2. Performance audit — assessment of the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness (3E) of project fund usage.
3. Compliance audit — review of compliance with applicable legislation, internal policies, and regulations.

These procedures provide assurance that the project’s financial statements, in all material respects, comply with or is prepared in accordance with the financing agreement or other donor requirements. Through this, BDO contributes to building donor and partner trust, offering significant advantages to non-governmental organizations.
