___________________________________

Our partner is a social enterprise that supports rural Cambodian artisan women to develop a stable, fair and sustainable income. The artisans develop high quality rattan products such as baskets, bags, lamps, and small furniture, being carefully trained and mentored  in order to empower their creativity and knowledge, thus sharing this ancient craft by adapting it to the demands of the modern market.

You will begin with an internal review, similar to an internal audit. You will then make and start to implement your recommendations for best practice, developing financial procedures, internal controls and systems, based on the complexity of the organisation’s accounting, the resources available to them and skillset of local staff.

They have requested our support to help develop a robust and basic finance management system in light of financial growth in the last year, with focus on budget preparation, forecasting, financial planning and analysis.

As a social enterprise, they do not have institutional donors or grants and at the moment will benefit from guidance on business development as well as compliance, creating a simple structure for bookkeeping and financial management, to make sure they are well set-up and prepared for further growth.

Affordable accommodation provided.

Company

Accounting for International Development (A f I D) offers accountants the opportunity to use their skills to make a genuine difference as volunteers and to gain invaluable hands-on overseas experience in the International Development sector.  Tailored volunteer assignments of 2 to 12 weeks form part of an ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity and long term sustainability of small community based charities across Africa, Asia and South America. Our partners which include street kid centres, health clinics and rural schools are doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality in their communities but are unable to access vital professional services. A f I D is now supporting almost grassroots charities in over 50 countries across Africa, Asia and South America and are keen to talk to more accountants willing to share their invaluable skills and experience. In only ten years we are pleased to announce the placement of our 1000th  volunteer. This will take the total hours of pro-bono financial management coaching by our volunteers to over 200,000. An extraordinary effort, that assisted the development, and in some cases survival, of some fantastic organisations. A f I D is a double award winning social enterprise supported by UnLtd & The Millennium Awards Trust (Funded by the National Lottery).
