World Vision Malaysia is committed to ensuring the proper and responsible use of contributions received. All projects are appraised, managed and monitored by World Vision Malaysia according to strict cost control policies and audits that govern us as an international humanitarian organisation.

For the Financial Year 2023:

• 83% (RM37,692,489) was used to support community development projects, emergency relief and work by local charities

• 18% (RM8,239,226) of contributions received were spent on Fundraising, Donor Care and Administration

Due to a fundraising shortfall, we used RM431,711 of reserve funds to fulfil our commitments in 2023. As a result, an additional 1% was added to our total expenditures, which is reflected in the percentages above.

World Vision Malaysia’s Audit Committee, comprising Board Members Datuk Ho Hon Sang, Emeritus Prof. Dr. P. T. Thomas and Esther Ong, monitored the use of funds, reviewed financial statements and managed the appointment of our external auditor. In 2023, PKF PLT was appointed to perform our annual financial audit.
