Cii has announced a new three-year strategic partnership with Forvis Mazars, strengthening the professional supports available to its growing membership base.
The partnership will see Forvis Mazars bring its extensive expertise in audit, assurance, governance, risk management, cybersecurity, VAT and financial reporting to charities across Ireland. As regulatory requirements and public expectations continue to evolve, the collaboration will provide practical guidance and thought leadership to help charity leaders navigate an increasingly complex operating environment.
Through this partnership, members will benefit from specialist insights on audit readiness, financial controls, board governance, compliance obligations, and emerging risks. Forvis Mazars will also contribute to sector briefings, events and publications, ensuring charities have access to up-to-date expertise and best practice.
Welcoming the announcement, Áine Myler, CEO of Charities Institute Ireland, said:
“We are delighted to enter into this three-year strategic partnership with Forvis Mazars. Their deep understanding of audit, governance and financial oversight will be of enormous value to our members. At a time when charities are operating in an increasingly regulated and scrutinised environment, access to trusted, expert advice is critical. This partnership will help strengthen confidence, transparency and resilience across our sector.”
Speaking at the announcement, Aedín Morkan, Partner, Audit & Assurance and Head of Not-for-Profit Services at Forvis Mazars, said: “At Forvis Mazars, we are committed to supporting organisations that make a meaningful impact across Irish society. Charities are operating in an environment of heightened regulation, transparency and scrutiny. Through this partnership with Charities Institute Ireland, we look forward to working alongside charity leaders to strengthen governance, build resilience and support long-term sustainability across the sector.”
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting high standards of governance and financial stewardship within Ireland’s charity community.
