Give with confidence
To ensure total financial transparency, Electriciens sans frontières has set up internal and external control tools to guarantee transparent governance and rigorous management of the resources you entrust to us.
Electriciens sans frontières is accredited by the label du don en confiance. At the request of associations, this body audits organizations that appeal to the generosity of the public. The 4 fields of continuous control exercised by the label’s auditors concern: statutory operation and disinterested management, rigorous management, quality of communication and fund-raising activities, and financial transparency.
En accord avec ses statuts, Electriciens sans frontières établit les comptes de l’association qui ont toujours été réguliers et sincères. Depuis que ceux-ci sont soumis à validation, notre commissaire aux comptes, le cabinet d’audit Forvis Mazars, les certifie.
The independent accounting firm Certus assists the association in drawing up its annual accounts.
The Electriciens sans frontières Internal Control Committee analyzes the risks associated with the organization’s activities and makes recommendations. It also ensures that good governance and management procedures are applied by all the association’s delegations and head office.
Our resources and expenses
Electriciens sans frontières benefits from the financial support of a wide range of organizations, to which are added voluntary contributions, a particular asset for the association. The long-term commitment of private and public partners is also a mark of trust, attesting to the NGO’s high standards.
