Examination of Income and Collection of Fund by an NGO: Five special points to be looked into are-

(i) Grant donations and contributions received from various Government, other NGO, industry and public should be checked with reference to the grant letter, bank statements and ensured that they are properly accounted and banked.

(ii) Foreign contribution received should be checked with reference to the correspondence receipt issued, bank statement, conversion into local currency. It should be ensured that all such contributions are as per RBI guidelines and be kept in separate bank account.

(iii) In the case of any fund raising cultural or sports program, verify the internal control system, mode of receipt and the authority accountable. Ensure that all collections are duly receipted and deposited in the bank promptly.

(iv) Check the fee received from members with the register of members.

(v) Check interest and dividend received from investments with investment held.
