The inaugural run of the 'Act to Empower' CSR initiative launched by AE Business Advisors as part of their 25th year anniversary celebration, will aim to provide six NGOs with free financial reporting and compliance advisory services for a period of two years.
This month marked a significant milestone for AE Business Advisors as they celebrated their 25th anniversary by launching a unique CSR initiative during an event held on last Wednesday.
The 'Act to Empower' program goes beyond conventional acts of kindness, representing a pledge to foster a resilient future through the provision of free financial reporting and compliance advisory services to local NGOs. This initiative includes a two-year service agreement aimed at empowering selected NGOs to independently navigate their reporting obligations.
The services offered include financial reporting and operational assistance, help with statute updates and reviews, and the provision of a tailored compliance manual for Category 1 NGOs. The overarching goal of this program is to heighten awareness among NGOs about their reporting obligations, thereby ensuring their eligibility for future funding opportunities.
Reflecting on past achievements, Dr. Georg Sapiano, Founder of AE Business Advisors, expressed gratitude to the communities integral to their journey. "We are excited to launch our CSR program 'Act to Empower' as a way of giving back to the community that has supported us over the years," Sapiano shared.
Dr Nicolette Spiteri Bailey, AE's Integrator, echoed this sentiment and emphasized the company's commitment to giving back "by doing what we do best." The primary focus of the initiative is to empower NGOs by ensuring their financial and operational compliance, ultimately enhancing their credibility, ensuring sustainability, and safeguarding them from potential issues that could hinder their access to funding.
The event, saw the attendance of Jesmond Saliba, Commissioner for Voluntary Orqanisations, further underscoring AE's commitment and collaboration in fostering a compliant and thriving nonprofit sector.
AE is dedicated to supporting six NGOs in the inaugural run of this initiative, symbolising a significant step toward creating a positive impact in the nonprofit sector. "We believe in honest relationships and the power of human capital to drive success," Spiteri Bailey emphasized, highlighting AE's commitment to helping NGOs thrive.
