As part of our commitment to helping our clients, we offer presentations and seminars highlighting the key issues affecting the sector.
We offer our Not for Profit sector clients a wide range of services including in the areas of:
- Accounting Services
- Assurance & Regulatory Reporting
- Corporate Governance Reviews
- Internal Audit
Accounting Services
We offer accounting, company secretarial and payroll services to our Not for Profit client base including the preparation of management accounts and providing accounting support on a temporary or secondment basis.
Assurance & Regulatory Reporting
As a leading advisor to the Not for Profit sector, Byrne Curtin Kelly has a deep understanding of regulation and legislation. We work with our clients to identify and manage their business issues and the risks arising from their operational, fundraising and financial activities.
Understanding our clients’ activities and the issues which they face is fundamental to our audit approach. We do this by meeting with their people, not just in the finance department but across the key functional areas, to talk about strategy, current developments, risks and controls.
Corporate Governance Reviews
Provides an organisation's board of directors with an assessment of the existing corporate governance structures. The resulting report sets out recommendations to:
- improve governance structures;
- suggests practical measures to increase accountability and transparency across the organisation; and
- highlights steps that should be considered to enhance the quality and frequency of Executive Resourcing
We help our client's management team to define the role and competencies required; profile the ideal candidate and determine where they may be found; and thoroughly assess candidates before a shortlist is presented. In addition, we provide a range of complementary services including management development and training, executive remuneration planning, and reward systems.
- management information supplied to the board.
Internal Audit
Byrne Curtain Kelly understands the key commercial, strategic, compliance and operational risks facing charities today. Key to successful performance are:
- clear and accountable governance structures, with transparent and professional financial control;
- well thought through risk taking; and
- strong control environments, supported by sound business processes and reporting.
We offer charities insight into their governance and risk issues, including effectiveness of existing structures and processes, so that Boards have confidence that objectives will be achieved.
Our internal audit approach is based on sound, risk-based coverage of financial and business systems, key risks, programmes and projects, governance and security structures. We use Byrne Curtain Kelly specialists to rigorously assess process controls and to challenge management to continuously improve, based on best practice in the voluntary, public and private sectors.
The benefit of our approach is reliable audit opinions, commercial and practical advice and recommendations, and confidence that management are being properly held to account in its fiduciary stewardship of the charity.
