CERATH Development Organisation

Background

In this case study, we focus on our fruitful collaboration with CERATH Development Organisation and how our assistance enabled them to avert a possible suspension of a crucial grant for the completion of their “Power to the Fishers” project.

The Struggles CERATH Development Organisation Faced

When they approached Akonu & Partners, CERATH Development Organisation had already completed the first and second years of the project. They were now obligated to submit an expenditure verification report for the second year prepared by an approved auditor to the
Contracting Authority.

This report was a crucial requirement of the Contract Grant issued by the European Union. They needed a comprehensive report to highlight non-compliance with the Grant Contract so that their finance team could identify and address the areas of non-compliance through appropriate remedial action.

Our Unique Process

CERATH Development Organisation chose Akonu & Partners for our extensive knowledge and recognized our unique expertise and competence in assurance and review engagements in Ghana.

We made recommendations for improvement to reduce the possibility of non-compliance and penalties by funding agencies. The thorough report gave management the necessary information to correct all non-compliance and misstatement issues.

Cerath’s Amazing Results

Since partnering with Akonu & Partners, CERATH Development Organisation has experienced improvement in their level of compliance and confidence – not only in their current active projects but for those in years to come.

By providing clear advice and actionable solutions, we ensured their “Power to the Fishers” project was compliant and able to receive the grant funding they needed to progress.
