The need for skilled accountants is largely driven by a lack of training at local level, combined with the complex reporting requirements of overseas charities. This is a key opportunity to gain hands on experience in the international development sector, help you stand out in the crowd to employers, and to use the CA qualification to make a difference. AfiD is a valuable and inspirational social enterprise and ICAS is proud to be working with the organisation.
