About This Role
This is a contract-based opportunity to provide external audit services for a well-established children’s welfare organization. The role is less about day-to-day accounting and more about delivering a thorough, independent financial review that ensures donor and regulatory confidence. It suits experienced audit firms or senior auditors who can work under a clear, structured tender process.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirements point to a firm that is fully compliant with Ethiopian regulatory standards, especially from the Accounting and Auditing Board of Ethiopia (AABE). Beyond licenses, the employer is likely prioritizing firms with a track record in NGO auditing, where fund utilization and internal controls are closely scrutinized. Having a valid TIN and VAT registration signals that they want a formal, tax-compliant entity, not an individual auditor.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your technical proposal on your familiarity with NGO financial reporting standards and previous audit experience with similar organizations. In the financial proposal, ensure your pricing is competitive but realistic, as SCV may have tight budgets but expects quality. Since proposals are in separate sealed envelopes, make sure both are complete and clearly labeled—any missing document could disqualify you. Emphasize your professional licenses and any audit certifications in the technical submission.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a mid-sized audit firm with at least one previous NGO audit engagement and a valid AABE license. Competition will be moderate—several firms may bid, but those with proven sector experience will stand out.
