Financial Integrity

At Compassion we take stewardship seriously. That's why more than 80 percent of all our expenditures go to program activities for our children. It's also why we insist on:

  • Annual external audits which are conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. This is done to provide assurance that our numbers fairly reflect the activities performed and are trustworthy
  • Regular audits for our country offices
  • Program audits to evaluate the effectiveness of our child development programs in the lives of children
