OUR
ACCOUNTABILITY
Our Commitment to Financial Transparency
​
At ICDS financial integrity and transparency form the foundation of our operations. Every contribution we receive is treated with the utmost accountability to ensure it is used effectively for the communities we serve.
​
To uphold this commitment, we follow a robust three-tier financial scrutiny process:
​
1. Internal Organizational Review
​
Our in-house accounting team maintains meticulous records and conducts periodic internal reviews of all transactions, budgets, and project expenditures. This level ensures continuous compliance with organizational policies and funding guidelines.
​
2. Independent External Audits
​
To enhance credibility and ensure impartiality, we engage an external agency, one of the world's leading audit firms, to conduct an independent audit of our financial activities. This thorough evaluation guarantees that all funds are tracked, utilized, and reported in accordance with international standards.
​
3. Final Audit by Chartered Accountant
​
After agency's review, a certified Chartered Accountant (CA) conducts a final audit in compliance with national statutory requirements. This final layer of scrutiny ensures our financial statements are aligned with local laws and audit frameworks before submission to regulatory authorities and stakeholders.
