RsA Asia and AfID for international development
Aware of and willing to contribute to the socially-oriented goals of Accounting for International Development (AfID), RsA Asia now joins AfID to help the provision of accounting services for communities that face economic struggles and need advise from certified accountants.
AfID (www.afid.org.uk) is an organisation that offers accountants from around the world the opportunity to use their skills to globally support a broad range of non-profit organisations. Their ongoing strategy is to build the financial management capacity of charities and this guides the operations of AfID in all 50 countries in which it operates. This area mainly includes South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the percentage of the population which lives in extreme poverty reaches 41% and 57%, respectively (World Bank).
AfID’s partners are international NGOs, hospitals, micro-finance organisations, conservation projects, women’s empowerment programmes and schools. These partners fight against extreme poverty and inequality in their communities but due to their limited resources are unable to access vital accounting and financial management training.
The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop and enhance the skills, confidence and potential of local people. This will enable organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more effective and sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries while maintaining good relations with their donors.
RsA (www.rsa-tax.com) will contribute to the promotion of AfID jobs in the countries where it operates. This will be achieved through the network of accounting companies and periodical events where the achievements and projects of AfID will be shared.
Volunteer assignments:
CFO at Social Enterprise in Nairobi, Kenya
Finance & Admin Manager for Community Development Charity, Malawi
Head of Internal Control, Democratic Republic of Congo
Internal Audit Consultancy, Afghanistan
Internal Audit Consultant, Nepal
Head of Finance, Children and Youth Organisation, Cambodia

RsA Asia和AfID促进国际发展
了解并愿意为面向社会的国际发展会计目标(AfID)做出贡献的RsA Asia现在加入了AfID，以帮助那些面临经济困难和需要注册会计师建议的社区提供会计服务。
AfID是一个组织，它为来自世界各地的会计师提供机会，利用他们的技能在全球范围内支持广泛的非营利组织。他们正在实施的战略是建立慈善机构的财务管理能力，这将指导AfID在其运作的所有50个国家的运作。这一地区主要包括南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区，在那里，生活在极端贫困地区的人口比例分别达到41%和57%。
AfID的合作伙伴有国际非政府组织、医院、微型金融组织、保护项目、妇女赋权项目和学校。这些伙伴在其社区与极端贫困和不平等作斗争，但由于资源有限，无法获得重要的会计和财务管理培训。
所有AfID任务的主要重点是开发和提高当地人的技能、信心和潜力。这将使各组织最终拥有所需的财务管理能力，以便向其许多受益者提供更有效和可持续的方案，同时与它们的捐助者保持良好关系。
RsA将在其运营的国家促进AfID的工作。这将通过会计公司网络和定期活动来实现，在这些活动中，AfID的成果和项目将被共享。
