___________________________________

Our partner encourages teachers in Brazil to develop and deliver educational projects and project-based learning practices in their classrooms. In doing so, they hope to create environments where children can meet their full potential, supporting their teachers and wider society to achieve key educational goals. 

The organisation is quite young and small in size and while they have complete financial records, their system is still basic.

You will begin with a review of their current financial procedures, controls and system. You will be reviewing staff capacity and resources and making recommendations for best practice that are appropriate to their need and increase efficiency and are appropriate to their need. In addition to a review on their control environment and accounting practices, they would like a volunteer to support them in preparing their financial statements, preparing for an external audit, and creating an organisational budget and budget monitoring tools.

This is an excellent placement and opportunity for an accountant to provide all round support to an organisation.

AfID have now arranged assignments for over 1000 accountants from over 50 countries, providing over 250,000 hours of one to one support to more than 500 non-profit partners.

Our partners, which are a blend of international charities and grassroot NGOs, such as street child centres, hospitals, micro-finance institutions, conservation projects, women’s empowerment programmes and schools, are all doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality but due to limited resources are unable to access vital financial management training.

The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop the skills, confidence and potential of local people, enabling organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries, whilst maintaining good relations with their donors. Volunteers could be budgeting with a street child centre in Kampala (Uganda), coaching a hospital bookkeeper in Kigali (Rwanda) or financial reporting for a primary school in Kathmandu (Nepal).
