A major international funder needed assurance that its significant investments into a portfolio of African grantees were being used ethically and efficiently. The traditional process of costly on-the-ground auditing was time-consuming and inefficient, providing only a snapshot of operations long after the fact.

The BMG Partnership:

We implemented a unique oversight model by providing our Accounting, Payroll, and Procurement shared services directly to the funder's grantees. This proactive approach ensured that all financial processes were compliant and transparent from the outset, rather than being verified after the fact.

The Achievements:

• Reduced Oversight Costs: The funder reduced their internal auditing and verification costs by over 40% annually.

• Real-time Assurance: The funder gained real-time visibility into the financial health and operational integrity of their grantees.

• Maximized Impact: By mitigating financial risks early, the funder could be confident that their investments were directly funding programs, not being lost to administrative inefficiencies.
