A Reputation for 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 audits to show exactly how our income is used
- Regular audits for our country offices
- Program audits to evaluate the effectiveness of our programs in the lives of children
The figure below shows our fiscal year 2005-2006 finances, audited by KPMG LLP.
