  • Description: Gelman, Rosenberg & Freedman has spent the last two decades working with non-governmental organizations that are engaged in a range of humanitarian assistance projects, which are funded by various agencies in the U.S. government, as well as international and multilateral institutions. GRF's auditors spend a lot of time in Haiti and East Africa, and it has performed work as far afield as Colombia, Bolivia, Lebanon, Jordan, Libya, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and both North and South Sudan. When abroad, there's usually somebody there who speaks English, though the audit team may sometimes require a translator. As for blending in with the different cultures, GRF's auditors get a few pointers from the directors and senior leaders in the NGO offices of what they should and shouldn't do, but for the most part, the auditors don't have to match the local business culture. Auditors travel to countries that are in turmoil and their lives may be at stake. Most of the firm's clients are large humanitarian relief organizations and they have security procedures in various countries.
