At LGO, we prioritize audit and assurance processes to uphold financial transparency, strengthen internal controls, and provide assurance to stakeholders regarding the accuracy and integrity of our financial operations. Our approach includes:

1. Internal Audits: Regular internal audits evaluate financial controls, compliance, and overall financial management practices to identify areas for improvement and strengthen internal control.
2. Annual Audits: Conducted to ensure compliance with accounting standards, regulatory requirements, and donor restrictions, providing an independent assessment of financial reporting accuracy.
3. Special Audits: Conducted in response to specific events, concerns, or donor requirements to address issues, investigate irregularities, or provide additional assurance as needed.
4. External Audits: Independent audit firms evaluate financial statements, internal controls, and compliance with regulations, enhancing transparency and accountability in financial reporting.
5. Assurance to Stakeholders: Audit processes aim to provide assurance to stakeholders, including donors, board members, staff, and the public, regarding the reliability and accuracy of financial information, building trust and accountability.

By conducting internal and external audits, we demonstrate our commitment to financial integrity, transparency, and accountability in managing donor funds and organizational resources, enhancing governance, risk management, and compliance within our NGO.
