Symbiosis

For 20 years, not-for-profit organisation Symbiosis International has been helping impoverished Bangladeshi women to raise themselves out of poverty. Faced with increased competition for funding back home, the Symbiosis board recently decided it needed to improve its financial reporting and achieve a consolidated view of its performance.

MGI was appointed to conduct the 2015 audit and to help bring accounting and reporting up to standard.

Employing 180 Bangladeshi staff, Symbiosis International empowers the poor by teaching literacy, supporting group savings collectives and delivering a host of support programs. They play an important role in the lives of many Bangladeshi women.
