Non-Profit Organizations Audit
Mandatory audit of the financial statements of certain non-profit organizations provides users with transparent information as well as a reliable picture of how funds of these organizations dispose of. Often, the funds available to non-profit organizations come from public sources, and until 2015 they were not the legislature’s focus. Today, in the age of digitalization, where transparency has become necessary, non-profit organizations are increasingly turning to audits so that all those interested can be sure that the reports, as well as the resources at their disposal, are true.
Non-profit organizations whose revenues in the previous year exceeded HRK 10 million are subject to audits of financial statements. Non-profit organizations whose revenues in the previous year ranged from HRK 3 to 10 million are subject to review of financial statements. Insight into the financial statements, as well as the financial statements of non-profit organizations audit, is published on the website of non-profit organizations.
Audit of EU Projects
Since Croatia joined the European Union, new doors have opened up for all entrepreneurs. To ensure that all projects comply with International Standards on Auditing and that there are no unpleasant surprises, our experts with extensive knowledge in auditing EU projects are here to provide superior service.
The EU project audit process begins with familiarizing Confida’s auditors with the project, as well as access to all project locations, deliveries, and project results. The auditor’s task is to perform control, where they check whether the funds and costs incurred for project implementation are used in the project itself. Confida’s experts will check all the documentation on which the project’s financial statements are based, check the compliance with the budget, and assess the reality of the cost and all this will result in an audit report that includes the auditor’s opinion.
It is important to know that the audit of EU projects can be performed only by independent auditors and audit companies that have certified auditors, and members of the Croatian Chamber of Auditors.
