AE Business Advisors celebrated their 25th anniversary by launching a unique CSR initiative during an event held on October 25.
The ‘Act to Empower’ programme pledges to foster a resilient future through the provision of free financial reporting and compliance advisory services to local NGOs.
This initiative includes a two-year service agreement aimed at empowering selected NGOs to independently navigate their reporting obligations.
The services offered include financial reporting and operational assistance, help with statute updates and reviews, and the provision of a tailored compliance manual for Category 1 NGOs.
