BDO

BDO’s International Institutions & Donor Assurance (IIDA) team and our UK Charities and Not for Profit specialists are one of the most experienced and globally connected practices supporting organisations who fund and implement humanitarian programmes. We help our clients ensure resources are protected, programmes are effectively delivered and impact is maximised.

For over 40 years, major recipients and donors of humanitarian funding — including NGOs, multilateral and bi‑lateral agencies, development banks and charitable foundations —have trusted BDO to strengthen transparency, accountability and performance across complex international programme portfolios.

In addition to our international network of BDO offices, we employ over 400 dedicated humanitarian and development specialists working from our Global Centre of Excellence in London and its 11 regional hubs across Africa, the Middle East and the Global South. Our teams speak more than 90 languages, and we deliver fieldwork in over 180 countries each year. This includes work in harder to reach areas including (post-)conflict and last mile locations.

Our Subject Matter Expertise includes donor assurance services, governance and risk advisory services, outsourcing services, programme evaluation and third-party monitoring services, fraud advisory and investigative expertise, safeguarding advisory services and ESG assurance activities.

Alongside these services, BDO’s Not for Profit team supports a wide range of high-profile charities with audit, tax, M&A, restructuring and a wide variety of advisory services. Our strong relationships with regulators provide us with nuanced understanding of sector challenges, from regulatory change to financial sustainability.

We help support those who fund and deliver programmes achieve and demonstrate impact for the beneficiary communities they serve while building trust in these programmes across funders, regulators, partners and the general public.
