All organizations incur expenses and invest capital in the course of operations. For World Vision, using capital effectively to secure more resources is a primary focus. Fund-raising costs are reviewed carefully to ensure the greatest return on our investment. We are committed to the proposition that materials, human resources, and professional assistance must be used as effectively as possible.
Financial statements vary among charitable organizations because the nature of their work varies.
Some organizations gather relief supplies only. Others gather and transport supplies. Still others gather, transport, and distribute supplies. To ensure responsible stewardship, World Vision is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability since 1979.
