Public Financial Management, Audit-Readiness and Taxation Support
Financial management diagnostics, grant and project FM systems, internal control reviews, audit-readiness files and tax-compliance support.
When clients come to us
- An external audit is coming and the files are not ready.
- A grant or project needs a financial-management manual, a chart of accounts and donor-compliant reporting.
- Sub-recipients need financial monitoring and nobody has the capacity to do it.
- A tax-compliance position needs checking before it becomes a liability.
- Budget execution differs from the budget and the reasons are not documented.
What the work covers
- Public financial management diagnostics and improvement plans
- Budget formulation support, expenditure analysis and variance reviews
- Grant and project financial-management systems, manuals and tools
- Chart of accounts mapping, cost-centre design and donor-compliance reporting
- Internal control reviews, fiduciary-risk assessments and value-for-money reviews
- Financial monitoring of implementing partners and sub-recipients
- Audit-readiness: file completeness, reconciliation packs and management responses
- Internal audit support and agreed-upon procedures for projects and NGOs
- Pre-audit file reviews and coordination with external auditors
- Special reviews of payroll, procurement spend, advances and asset registers
- Transaction tracing and exception reporting where instructed
- Tax-compliance health checks covering Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) obligations such as VAT, PAYE, withholding tax and corporate income tax
- Support to tax registration, filing calendars and documentation packs
- Withholding-tax and VAT treatment reviews on contracts and consultancy payments
- Payroll tax and statutory deduction reviews
- Tax input to contract structuring, secondments and cross-border assignments
- Liaison support during GRA queries
What you receive
- A financial management diagnostic with a prioritised improvement plan
- A project FM manual, chart of accounts mapping and reporting templates
- An internal control review with findings, risk ratings and management responses
- An audit-readiness file: reconciliations, supporting documentation and a completeness checklist
- A tax compliance health-check note and a filing calendar
Professional boundaries
- This practice provides advisory and implementation support. It does not replace a licensed statutory audit firm where the law requires one.
- Where a statutory audit or a licensed tax opinion is required, Visionary Dynamics works with, or refers the work to, appropriately licensed practitioners.
- Where representation before the GRA is required, the work is done alongside the client's licensed tax practitioner.
