School boards, child care organizations and partnerships operate in a complex world. Besides their educational or pedagogical mission, they have to deal with strict laws and regulations, different funding streams, fiscal risks and accountability obligations. As a partner in audit and tax advice, Govers offers grip, peace of mind and insight. We help institutions and organizations to be in control - today and tomorrow.
Financial statements and audit: transparency at every stage
Financial statements are more than just a mandatory document; they are the foundation of financial accountability and trust. Govers carries out audit assignments with an eye for specific needs and regulations, including the requirements of DUO, the Education Inspectorate and subsidy providers such as municipalities.
The services of our audit department include:
- Audit of financial statements for primary and secondary education and childcare organizations
- Grant audits and other assurance engagements.
- Advice on internal control, IT audit and project reporting
- Risk analysis including identifying (fraud) risks and support in setting up your risk analysis process
Our specialists are familiar with the relevant regulations, such as the education accounting protocol, WNT, collective bargaining agreements (education and child care), allowances and the way institutions and organizations are financed through governments. We have extensive experience in auditing subsidy accounts in your sector. This makes us a substantively strong and reliable audit partner.
Fiscal control: mapping risks, grip on compliance
Schools and child care organizations are subject to tax regulations, but often do not have a sound tax control framework. Govers helps to draw up a sound TCF, so that the organization has an insight into its tax risks and seizes opportunities (in a timely manner).
Our services include:
- Creation of a Tax Control Framework, including implementation of control measures and monitoring (think sample implementation)
- Tax risk analyses in the areas of sales tax, payroll taxes, and corporate income tax
- Advice on sales tax (VAT), for example:
- Review of (pre)pro-rata calculations
- Advice on the VAT treatment of subsidies
- VAT implications of employee secondment
- VAT optimization for new construction or renovation
- Advice on payroll taxes and human resources, such as:
- WKR check and tax assessment of allowances
- Flexible workforce (such as self-employed individuals, temporary workers, volunteers, and interns)
- Review and advice on the 30% ruling
- Compliance with WNT standards
- Consulting on corporate income tax:
