Measures to enhance credibility of NGOs

We build trust in the NGO sector and enable NGOs to achieve sustained outcomes

Transparency and good governance are crucial for the development of NGOs. Fully empowering NGOs can enable them to build a skilled team and gain governance capabilities to deliver professional services that benefit more people in need. Through a series of free capacity-building events, practical toolkits, pro bono or discounted professional services, and professional insights based on our extensive experience, we help NGOs improve their operational capacity, gain trust and achieve greater potential.

NGO Risk and Control Management Framework

The ‘Evaluation Support Platform for Philanthropy’ is a collaboration between PwC China and eight other influential Chinese foundations and private corporates. It aims to develop the NGO sector by enacting and promoting evaluation standards and cultivating professionals. Under the framework of this platform, PwC China developed an NGO Risk and Control Management Framework that can guide NGOs to improve their internal governance and risk controls. Covering more than 200 control points, the system draws on the experience from different business sectors while considering the fundraising and programme operation features specific to the NGO sector. It intends to provide professional guidance on risk control and internal governance for NGOs.

NGOs Data Management Toolkits

Deep industry and regulatory knowledge allow us to provide updates and insights on the latest compliance requirements to help NGOs enhance their operational effectiveness. In partnership with the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), we published two free toolkits to help NGOs with common data management areas.

The Personal Data Privacy Toolkit for NGOs (English/Traditional Chinese) aims to help Hong Kong-based NGOs understand the significance and implications of personal data protection and compliance based on their industry-specific features. It provides guidance to ensure data and information of their stakeholders, including beneficiaries, donors, volunteers, service specialists and employees, are well protected. This is vital not only for compliance but more importantly, elevating the trust and confidence that their users and collaborators place in them.

The Data Governance Toolkit for NGOs (English/Traditional Chinese) enables NGOs to understand the general concept, value and benefits of data governance, learn how good data practices could improve the effectiveness and efficiency of services and overall operations, and have an initial understanding of their data governance maturity level and plan for future improvements.

ESG toolkit for NGOs

ESG is an important topic for corporates, non-profit organisations and the community in general. As corporates advance along the ESG journey, it is equally important that NGOs have a better understanding of what ESG entails so that they can be on the same page with their stakeholders in the community.

PwC China's ESG team has prepared the ESG Toolkit for NGOs with a view to provide an overview of ESG and practical takeaways to support the NGO sector in Hong Kong SAR to better meet increasing expectations of accountability and transparency and to embark on their ESG journey.
