Unique opportunity for an adventurous accountant looking to gain international experience, work with inspiring colleagues and volunteer for charity supporting male victims of sexual abuse in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Accounting for International Development offers every type of accountant, from anywhere in the world, the opportunity to use their skills to support a broad range of non-profit organisations globally. Volunteer Accounting Assignments of between 2 weeks and 6 months form part of our ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity of charities in over 50 countries.

Our partner works to prevent sexual abuse and support those affected, specifically focusing on young male victims. They require a general review of their simple accounting system, and some practical training for their small finance team.

You will begin with an internal review of their existing financial procedures, systems and controls. You will be making recommendations for best practice that are appropriate to the resources and capacity of the team, starting to implement some of these and providing training so staff can maintain the changes. They are in the process of revising their financial policies for compliance which you can assist with. The Finance Manager has recently been promoted into the role and although he has a good understanding, he will benefit from some further coaching to help him manage his new tasks. He has just received his Master’s in Accountancy, he learns fast but has no one to teach him at the moment. Alongside him there is a Finance Officer and a Finance & Admin Assistant.

They are using QuickBooks and Excel and need a review of their use and training on both. The staff’s general excel skills are quite poor, further training and helping to create new, streamlined templates and procedures would add much value. The previous FM changed the way they report to donors from QuickBooks which has since been questioned by auditors as the most effective way. The reporting requirements for the large donors can be both complex and demanding, your review can help make this easier to manage. They are also concerned that they lack strong financial controls which need attention.

Our partner has recently built up a reserve to invest in income generating income businesses. They have requested support to develop business plans and simulations, advising on budget and costing. They have saved enough for rental, refurbishment and a staff of 2 but have not yet decided on what type of business to establish although would like it to provide a service to general public (i.e. a coffee shop). If time permits, you will be involved in the strategy and planning for such a venture.

Stipend provided.

The International Organization for Migration in the United Kingdom (IOM UK) is an intergovernmental organization with 166 member states, with more than 400 field offices in over 150 countries. Established in 1951, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. In the UK specifically, IOM works in resettlement, integration, counter-trafficking, diaspora and development, migrant assistance, migration policy and research, and community cohesion. More information is available at www.unitedkingdom.iom.int. IOM, in close partnership with UNHCR, central and local government agencies, and civil society partners, has been facilitating the resettlement of refugees to the UK since 2004. Currently, IOM UK provides pre-departure cultural orientation sessions for refugees prior to their arrival in the UK to enhance their integration process by providing them with accurate and relevant information about the UK. IOM’s experience in numerous countries has found that integration is a two-way process, however, working best when both refugees and those in receiving communities have a good understanding of each other’s expectations, cultural differences, and practices. IOM UK therefore launched its Refugee Information Sessions in May 2016 to increase local knowledge of the refugee communities being resettled in the UK, thereby helping to reduce the adjustment period for refugees and supporting strong, appropriate integration services. Under the supervision of the Senior Project Support (Resettlement and Integration), in close coordination with the Project Coordinator and relevant external stakeholders, the intern will provide support with the implementation of the Refugee Information Sessions.
