Our Mandate

Why donors and charities trust ICAC

Our authority rests on a consistent commitment to independence, rigour, and accountability across every audit we conduct.

Independent and Unbiased

ICAC operates free from commercial interests and donor influence. All assessments are conducted by independent auditors following a standardised methodology.

Evidence-Based Methodology

Certification decisions are grounded in documented evidence: financial records, governance structures, program delivery, and Sharia compliance verification.

Annual Certification and Review

Every certification expires annually. Charities must undergo a full reassessment each year to maintain their status, ensuring standards remain current.

Transparent Public Reporting

All audit outcomes are published in the public registry. Donors and regulators can access certification status, audit summaries, and historical records at any time.

Accountability in charitable giving matters to donors, communities, and civil society alike.

ICAC provides the kind of transparent, independent oversight that has long been needed in charitable giving. Knowing a charity is certified gives us genuine confidence.
