About the events

The Consultation Paper, launched on 28 January, was designed to start a conversation. These events are an opportunity for stakeholders to:

• Share their knowledge and opinions with the project
• Explore some of the issues in the Consultation Paper

The events are planned at times and in languages to encourage participation from all parts of the world.

The events are free, online and invitation-only, as places are limited.

Each event is four hours, split over 2 x 2-hour sessions about a week apart. Participants are invited to attend BOTH sessions as they cover different topics.

Who is being invited?

We are inviting people on the basis of recommendations by our global network, with the aim of including a range of stakeholders.

• Local and international NPOs (NGOs and other non-profits) – senior finance staff & treasurers
• Donors – involved in due diligence
• Auditors (external auditors who give an opinion on NPO financial reports)
• Sector regulators and standard setters
• Accountancy bodies
