Additionally, the consultant will provide comprehensive support to the team, guiding them through intricate audit requirements and compliance standards.
The audit process is anticipated to span up to three months, with a targeted completion date of 31 October 2024.

About us
Live & Learn Environmental Education (LLEE) has been making waves for nearly three decades, expanding its reach across 15 countries with a passionate team of over 400 staff and volunteers.
From the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Live & Learn country offices operate as local NGOs, partnering with governments and agencies to drive their mission of building climate resilience and creating a sustainable, equitable world.

About the project
One of our standout initiatives, the project you will be working on is part of a broader program addressing land access and investment challenges in the Solomon Islands, a country brimming with tourism potential.

Reconcile all funds and expenses to the project bank account balance monthly for the 25-month period, identifying and accounting for any unrelated transactions to maintain financial integrity.
Prepare the Fund Accountability Statement in strict accordance with donor guidelines, including all necessary notes and disclosures to provide a comprehensive financial overview for project partners.
Engage with two local Solomon Islands-based partners to gather required information and documentation, ensuring effective communication and collaboration to fulfil the scope of work efficiently.
Consult with the Melbourne-based Live & Learn Environmental Education National Support Office (LLEE NSO) and the project auditor as needed.
Facilitate smooth coordination and address any queries or concerns promptly.
Provide all necessary documents required for the audit.
Work closely with local teams to ensure timely and accurate submission of audit-related materials.
