Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often about our monitoring, verification, research, compliance, and financial services.
What kinds of organizations do you work with?
Donors, implementing partners, NGOs, public institutions, private companies, and grant-funded initiatives.
What is third-party monitoring (TPM)?
Independent monitoring of program implementation by an outside firm — confirming progress, detecting risks early, and validating reported achievements where direct oversight is difficult.
Is my project automatically tax-exempt because it is donor-funded?
No. There is no automatic exemption in Afghanistan; you need a certificate from the Revenue Department, and exempt entities must still file.
Will the Ministry of Finance audit us?
International organizations should assume yes — it is standard procedure. We represent you through the entire process.
What does a verification engagement deliver?
A verification report with a verification matrix, photographic or geotagged evidence log, findings, and practical recommendations — formatted for management action and donor reporting.
How do you ensure quality in field work?
Defined workplans, standardized tools, enumerator training, supervisor review, data validation checks, triangulation, geotagging, timestamped photos, and call-back verification.
How do you handle sensitive findings?
Confidentially. Sensitive findings go only to designated leadership, with strict information handling.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes — in person or by phone, before you commit to anything.
