Analysts' Notes
CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.
| CharityWatch's rating of FINCA International is based on its consolidated audit, which also includes the financial activities of the subsidiaries that are owned and/or controlled by FINCA through FINCA Microfinance Holding Company, LLC. According to Note 1 of the FINCA 2016 consolidated audit: "In October 2010, FINCA formed a 100% owned limited liability company subsidiary, FINCA Microfinance Holding Company, LLC (FMH)... In December 2011, FINCA reorganized its structure by placing all of its microfinance institutions under FMH, the holding company through which it could obtain additional capital for expansion of FINCA's mission. ... In exchange for its majority ownership in FMH, FINCA contributed the ownership of all of its microfinance operating subsidiaries to FMH, in which all operating subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of FMH..." "Since 2011, FMH and its subsidiaries were operated and managed by FINCA, its ultimate parent company, through terms set out in a management services agreement (MSA). Under the MSA, FINCA managed and protected FMH's capital investments in the microfinance operating subsidiaries..." [...] "As of December 31, 2016, FINCA through FMH operates in 21 developing countries in Latin America (Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Nicaragua), Africa (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia), Eurasia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan), and the Middle East (Afghanistan, Jordan, and Pakistan). FINCA operates through local entities ('subsidiaries') that are owned and/or controlled by FINCA through FMH. Subsidiaries are organized primarily as corporations but also, in some cases, as nongovernmental organizations, or as branches of FINCA International..." Whenever practicable, CharityWatch obtains consolidated or combined audited financial statements that include all of the entities of a charity. Such an audit eliminates transactions among related entities and allows us to determine how efficiently an organization is operating on the whole.
