Auditing of Danida Business Partnerships

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark - DANIDA

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, DANIDA, is commissioning a state-authorised public accountant to provide independent opinions on the activities and amounts claimed for reimbursements by the partnerships supported through Danida Business (DB) Partnerships.
The independent opinions must identify any shortfalls based on a review of the submitted material vis-a-vis the approved budget and the Requirements for Application and Support by DB Partnerships.
The state-authorised public accountant must employ adequate staff with appropriate professional qualifications and suitable experience in auditing the accounts of entities of similar size and complexity to the entity being audited. Moreover the state-authorised public accountant must be able to service partnerships established as joint ventures or other partnership constructions based in the following countries:Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, China, Mali, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nepal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia. The state-authorised public accountant must establish a Danida Coordination Desk with a selected group of auditors specializing in DB Partnerships with good knowledge of the programme and the Requirements for Application and Support. The state-authorised public accountant must have access to provide the services required in the countries mentioned above and in collaboration with local partners/affiliates be able to perform spot checks 3-5 times annually to verify that eg. environmental equipment has been purchased or that training has been carried out.
More information about DB Partnerships can be found on dbpartnerships.um.dk.
The DB Partnerships is a new programme and therefore it is difficult to foresee how many audits it will entail, however a rough estimate would suggest that the assignment on an annual basis will comprise:
— 75 Partner identification trip reimbursements of around 10 – 15 invoices,
— 100 Preparation Phase reimbursements of around 15-35 invoices,
— 400 Implementation Phase reimbursements of around 15-50 invoices,
— 3 - 5 spot checks on site.
