Our partner empowers families in rural Africa, offering smallholder farmers innovative farming techniques to boost production and improve food security; and teaching them management and enterprise skills, enabling them to increase their families’ income and access savings and credit services.
They are seeking the support of an individual to:
• Review the accounting processes & controls of their US entity, ensuring that that have all the necessary registrations to meet American regulatory requirements and that they are meeting US compliance requirements.
• Create templates to govern the relationship between the US and UK entities, specifically covering funding opportunities and transfer of funds, and reporting frameworks.
They envision that the work will take 1-2 days with the individual working with a nominated individual each in the UK and USA office. An exciting opportunity for a volunteer with knowledge of US financial compliance requirements.

Company
Accounting for International Development (AfID) offers every type of accountant, from anywhere in the world the opportunity to use their skills to support a broad range of non-profit organisations globally. Volunteer assignments of between 2 weeks and 12 months, &/or longer permanent placements, form part of our ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity of charities in over 50 countries.
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).
