Accountant for Accountant's Review of Annual Accounts
Accountant for Accountant's Review of Annual Accounts
Auckland Youth Orchestra Inc.
Estimated Time: 12 - 20 Hours Over 7 - 10 Days
Our registered charity offers talented young musicians (ages 14-26) training in orchestral skills. AYO is run by volunteers, although the Music Director and Manager receive modest honoraria. The organisation has been in existence for over 70 years and has a reputation for excellence. We are seeking pro bono services of an accountant suitably qualified to conduct an annual Accountant’s Review and to provide a Report for inclusion within our annual Performance Report filed with charities.org.nz. Our year end is 31 October and we usually have the accounts completed ready for review by about 7 November. Ideally the volunteer will envisage offering this service annually, as continuity promotes efficiency for all and contribute to our awesome charity.

What We Have In Place
AYO's Treasurer, who prepares the accounts in line with Tier 3 Charity Reporting requirements, is a retired CA who takes pride in presenting clean and clear accounts & workpapers. See the 2018 Accounts in the '2018 Review - Performance Report' on our website: https://www.ayo.org.nz/about-us/
In the past we have been very glad of the services provided by Arran Accountants, but they have recently advised all their clients that they are withdrawing from this area of service and thus we hope a suitably qualified professional will be eager to offer pro bono services to our organisation.
