Audit & Compliance
Ask about accountability.
Support African orphans and widows with confidence.
Request available organizational, financial review and compliance documentation from OWAID.
Ask for the documents that matter to you.
Supporters may want to review organizational registration, tax-related documentation, financial review materials or the scope of an independent audit, where available. Contact OWAID to request its current records.
A nonprofit description is not, by itself, proof of tax-exempt status or of the deductibility of a particular gift. Confirm those matters with the organization and an appropriate adviser.
Be clear about the level of review.
Internal bookkeeping, a financial review and an independent audit are different activities. A statement about oversight should identify the actual work performed and the period it covers.
Ask the team which review documents are currently available, the reporting period they cover and who completed the review. We can discuss the appropriate documentation for your inquiry.
