What is an NGO audit in Afghanistan?

An NGO audit in Afghanistan is an independent review of the financial statements, compliance structures, and project expenditures of a Non-Governmental Organisation. It ensures funds are used in accordance with donor terms, local laws, and international standards.

What documents are usually needed for a donor audit?

Common documents include grant agreements, project budgets, general ledgers, bank reconciliations, procurement records, invoices, staff contracts, timesheets, payroll slips, and tax filings.

How can an NGO prepare for a project audit?

To prepare, NGOs should perform monthly bank and ledger reconciliations, ensure complete supporting documents exist for all transactions, double-check allocability under donor rules, and compile grant file folders in advance.

Can AMS help before the donor audit begins?

Yes. AMS provides pre-audit checks and readiness reviews to identify documentation gaps, control weaknesses, or reconciliation errors before the main external auditors start.

Does AMS support multi-currency donor reporting?

Yes, we support accounting and reporting in AFN, USD, EUR, and other currencies, ensuring accurate conversion rates and matching donor ledger specifications.

Can AMS help with internal controls for procurement, payroll and cash?

Yes. We assess existing operational controls, identify gaps, and design practical control systems for procurement procedures, payroll processing, and safe cash management that management can easily run.
