Achieving successful governance is the responsibility of International NGO boards. However, in an increasingly challenging operating environment with competing priorities, how does a board balance the requirements and considerations and find the right people?
With an uncertain economic environment and an ever-evolving role for international NGOs, the need for a clear business model has never been greater. Our upcoming insight aims to provide advice and solutions for international NGOs looking to improve their existing business model.
The legitimacy of international NGOs, and the policies and procedures that underpin their work, are rightly scrutinised and held to account by their stakeholders, supporters and the media. There is always someone watching, whether it’s a funder, local partner, employee or volunteer.
Trustees need to have the right level of internal and external visibility to be confident that they understand what is going on without getting lost in the detail.

Governance: a guide for International NGOs by Buzzacott and Bond
While the Charity Governance Code offers a framework for governance best practices, this guide provides much-needed clarity on practically applying these principles to everyday operations within an international NGO.
The guide has three main sections – culture, business models and visibility – which give an overview of the topic and a set of key questions that trustees can work through to address the issue effectively and ensure best practise within their organisation.
You + Us = More. More support. More advice. More understanding.
With extensive experience working with charities operating internationally, we deliver high-quality audit services by understanding both the funders’ and regulators' requirements as well as the governance, accounting and internal control challenges that arise from delivering programmes internationally.
Take advantage of our experience to help you tackle these challenges, and use our network to hear about the latest sector regulations and developments.
We take the time to understand your unique history, structure, and charitable focus, including visiting you overseas to gain a first-hand no-frills picture of your working environment. We can carry out audits directly with local offices as well as through local auditors, including through our PrimeGlobal association of international firms.

Grant audits
Donor scrutiny, compliance, and audit requirements are ever-increasing. And when funding and project management is this complex, you need specialist support to handle the scrutiny. That’s where we come in.
Our dedicated Charity and Not for Profit team works with various funders of the International NGO sector. These include the European Commission, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Swedish International Development Coordination Agency (SIDA). Understandably, these institutions need to be sure their money is spent as intended, reasonably and legally.
Investing charity assets is a critical responsibility for trustees, requiring careful consideration of various factors to ensure that investments align with the charity's objectives and legal obligations.
Our FAQs address common questions about charity investments, offering insights into available investment options, the role of investment consultants, and the importance of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). They also highlight trustee duties and the types of risks that must be managed to safeguard the charity’s financial health and mission.
