When it comes to audits, many people only breathe a sigh of relief once they’re over. At UnMode, we’ve undergone three financial audits and one organizational management audit, and we can confidently say it was worth every effort. Yes, we understand that donors like to see these results. And we also understand that relying on donor funding means playing by their rules.
But we go beyond that – we don’t just follow the rules, we challenge them! As long as grant funding remains our primary income source, we accept these rules and play by them. Moreover, we embrace them as an inevitable part of our journey and are ready to ace the challenge.
The financial audits showed that our processes are transparent and efficient. This not only meets donor expectations but also gives us the confidence to move forward with new projects. We don’t just meet standards – we strive to set an example for other organizations.
The management audit went even deeper. It helped us not only identify weak spots but also provided suggestions for improvement. This is more than just a formality – it’s a challenge we took on and overcame. Audits make us stronger, open up new opportunities, and reinforce our resilience.
Yes, donors value these results, and as long as we choose the grant funding model, we will continue to meet these expectations. But every audit we pass is another step toward our ultimate goal: to build a strong, independent, and transparent organization.
We’ve walked this path and emerged stronger! We highly recommend it to everyone.
