International Institutions and Donor Assurance

We are a trusted and leading global partner for the global donor community. Our team serve a range of organisations who provide funding across international borders, helping them to mitigate associated risks, build trust and promote the effective use of these funds. Our clients include leading bilateral and multilateral agencies; development banks; grant-making trusts and foundations; NGOs; private sector actors; intergovernmental organisations; and sporting federations.

Our clients share one, common goal: to drive positive social change. From supporting those in urgent need through humanitarian relief and complex emergency response; to funding vaccine development and implementation drives; to developing innovative solutions to combat climate change; to funding research and innovation programs; we work with bold, ambitious organisations who are seeking to drive positive impact.

These organisations rely on our international team of development experts for our assurance, advisory, delivery and grant recipient services. Our goal is to ensure that the funds invested in projects can deliver and demonstrate the maximum impact.
