Frequently Asked Questions

Do non-profits need an auditor?
Most sizeable NPOs need audits: donors typically require audited financials, the Companies Act mandates audits above certain thresholds, and the DSD requires annual audited statements for registered NPOs. An audit provides the public accountability that the non-profit sector demands.
How much does an auditor for an NPO cost in South Africa?
NPO audits typically cost R10,000–R40,000 for small organisations, and R40,000–R150,000+ for larger NGOs with multiple programmes and international grants. Many auditors offer reduced rates for NPOs, and audit costs can usually be included in grant budgets.
Can accounting software replace an auditor for NPOs?
No. Audits provide independent assurance required by donors and regulators. Clean bookkeeping through Accounter makes audits smoother and less costly, but the independent assurance function cannot be replaced by software.
