Service line
NGO-MFI Services
Accounting, financial reporting, assurance support, regulatory advisory, training, research and technology for non-government organizations and microfinance institutions.
Overview
Six capabilities for NGOs and microfinance institutions
NGOs and MFIs answer to donors, regulators, boards and — in microfinance — to borrowers and savers. That means several reporting frameworks running in parallel. IABP works across all of them from one engagement.
Donor reporting
Grant-by-grant reporting alongside statutory accounts.
Regulatory reporting
Returns and disclosures in the format the regulator expects.
Portfolio & risk
Loan portfolio quality, provisioning and risk oversight.
