TRALSO is committed to sound administration and accountability to its funders.
It accomplishes this via following practices:
- Separate bank accounts for each major donor are maintained for different TRALSO programmes and/or projects. This facilitates oversight management and expedites reporting
- Signatories are drawn from both TRALSO and independent auditors
- Donor-tailored financial reports are produced quarterly and/or bi-annually depending on donor requirements
- PDB Pretorius Dondashe, a registered chartered accounting and auditing firm based in East London audits TRALSO’s books annually.
