NGO’s due diligence & Donor Reporting
NGO’s due diligence & Donor Reporting
Due diligence of NGOs is critical for donors, corporates, and funding agencies to ensure that the organizations they support are credible, compliant, and effective in achieving their mission. Singh Gulati & Associates evaluates governance frameworks, financial stability, regulatory compliance, and operational performance.
Donor reporting ensures accountability and transparency in the utilization of grants and contributions. Independent assurance in this area helps donors monitor fund deployment, assess program outcomes, and maintain long-term confidence in the NGO’s governance, financial integrity, and impact delivery.
About This Service
Our NGO due diligence services provide end-to-end assessments for corporates, foundations, and international donors seeking partnerships with non-profits. Singh Gulati & Associates evaluates governance structures, legal registrations, financial health, internal controls, and program implementation capabilities.
We review compliance with statutory frameworks, including Income Tax Act provisions (12A, 80G), FCRA registrations (where applicable), and other central or state regulations. This ensures that NGOs satisfy eligibility criteria for funding and regulatory adherence.
Additionally, we design and verify donor reporting frameworks covering financial and non-financial performance. This includes assessment of utilization certificates, monitoring outcomes, and measuring impact to provide donors with assurance on responsible fund usage.
By integrating due diligence with donor reporting verification, we help donors identify credible partners and ensure that contributions are deployed transparently and effectively for intended social impact.
