Independent Assurance for Non-Profit and Implementing Partner Compliance
Coraa validates the legal, financial, and governance credentials of Non-Profits and implementing partners - ensuring every CSR partnership meets statutory and ethical compliance standards.
Ensuring Trust in Non-Profit Partnerships
Before disbursing CSR or philanthropic funds, corporates are required under CSR Rules, 2014 (amended 2021) to verify that every implementing partner is eligible and compliant.
Yet, most CSR teams rely on self-declared documents or ad-hoc checks for Non-Profit validation - creating risk exposure, audit exceptions, and reputational vulnerability.
Professional Validation
Human validation ensures accurate verification of all documents and credentials.
Comprehensive Review
Thorough examination of legal, financial, and governance aspects.
Risk Mitigation
Identify and address potential risks before they become issues.
Coraa's Assurance Process for Non-Profit Due Diligence
Our comprehensive validation process ensures every Non-Profit partner meets the highest standards of compliance and governance.
Legal & Statutory Validation
- Verify registration documents: Trust/Society/Section 8 Certificate, PAN, GST, CSR Registration No.
- Check statutory registrations: 12A, 80G, FCRA (if applicable), and renewal status.
- Cross-verify with government databases (MCA, NGO Darpan, Income Tax Portal, FCRA portal).
- Validator-signed compliance checklist confirming legal existence and eligibility.
Financial Health & Governance Review
- Analyze audited financial statements, Form 10B/10BB, and statutory filings for last 3 years.
- Evaluate fund utilization efficiency, income-expenditure ratios, and liquidity indicators.
- Review governance structures - board composition, meeting frequency, related-party transactions.
- Assurance summary certified by Chartered Accountants & Company Secretaries.
Reputation & Compliance Track Record
- Conduct adverse media, litigation, and sanction screening.
- Review track record of CSR project execution and previous fund utilization.
- Check partner affiliations, political exposure, or governance red flags.
