Dear Stakeholders,

It is a pleasure to reach out to you again and share a round-up of this month’s activities. One of my highlights for the last month was meeting with our Country Champions. I am always inspired by their energy and creativity, and I know their invaluable local knowledge and networks will help the project succeed.

These events aim to create awareness about the IFR4NPO project and highlight the important role that our international stakeholders play in achieving consistent reporting in the sector.

Recently, Humentum IFR4NPO Project Director, Samantha Musoke, shared her personal view on the issue of key figures in NPO financial statements. Her opinion is shaped by 21 years of experience in engaging with stakeholders in Uganda and across Africa.

She said: ‘Financial statements have evolved to meet the needs of investors and the for-profit world. As Humentum and CIPFA develop guidance for non-profit organisations through the IFR4NPO project, we have an amazing opportunity to rethink what are the ‘important numbers’ for our sector.’
