Monitoring is a key component of the funding framework of the National CSR

Foundation. The purpose of monitoring is to:

l Trackprogressofproject/programmeimplementationtoensurethatitis

accordingtosetplans

l Identifyshortcomingsordifficultiesinthecourseofimplementationand

providementoringsupportwherenecessary

l EnsurecompliancewiththeFundingContractAgreementandinforming

The three main aspects of the monitoring process are:

l FieldvisitsandReportsbytheProgrammeManagementTeam

l CollectionofinformationanddatabasedontheNationalCSR

FoundationMonitoringToolkit

l Requestforperiodicactivitiesandfinancialreportsandothersupporting

information.

189 projects/programmes (i.e. 82 percent) of the 230 supported under the first

Call for Proposals were monitored during the period ending June 2018. Around

600 hours were spent by the Programme Management Team on field visits to

organisations funded by the Foundation. Additionally, mentoring support were

provided to 71 organisations to help them address specific issues and problems

relating to implementation bottlenecks and compliance with financial reporting

requirementsoftheFoundation.TheFoundationalsocarriedoutmonitoringvisitsof

The monitoring exercise has enabled the Foundation to gain valuable insights

onthecapacityofNGOs/NPOstoeffectively implementprojects/programmes

andtoadheretogoodpractices.FundsdisbursedbytheFoundationareinmost

has revealed some key limitations, notably with regards to translating plans into

NATIONAL AUDIT OFFICE

Those chargedwith governance are responsible of overseeing the National Corporate Social Responsibility

Foundation’sfinancialreportingprocess.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole

arefreefrommaterialmisstatement,whetherduetofraudorerror,andtoissueanauditor’sreportthat

includesmyopinion.Reasonableassuranceisahighlevelofassurance,but isnotaguaranteethatan

audit conducted in accordance with ISSAIs, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatementscanarisefromfraudorerrorandareconsideredmaterialif,individuallyorintheaggregate,

theycouldreasonablybeexpectedtoinfluencetheeconomicdecisionsofuserstakenonthebasisof

thesefinancialstatements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAIs, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional

scepticismthroughouttheaudit.Ialso:

l Identifyandassesstherisksofmaterialmisstatementofthefinancialstatements,whetherduetofraud

or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence

thatissufficientandappropriatetoprovideabasisformyopinion.Theriskofnotdetectingamaterial

misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

collusion,forgery,intentionalomissions,misrepresentations,ortheoverrideofinternalcontrol.

l Obtainanunderstandingof internalcontrolrelevanttotheaudit inordertodesignauditprocedures

that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

effectivenessoftheNationalCorporateSocialResponsibilityFoundation’sinternalcontrol.

l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimatesandrelateddisclosuresmadebymanagement.
