In this context we shall briefly outline at a high level the purpose of a W8, some of the notable changes on the form as well as the relevant sections and what to consider notably treaty protection and broadly when FATCA is applicable or not. <<Po Box>> Monica Cohen-Dumani, Tax & Legal Partner, PwC <<Street>> W-8 form compliance <<Company Name>> 9.35am NGO Breakfast Philippe Tzaud Partner Assurance <<Salutation>> <<First Name>> <<Last Name>> The NGO sector remains unregulated in many countries. To foster public confidence, promote ethical conduct and assist donors in making sound funding decisions, numerous NGOs have developed codes of good governance or joined forces with like-minded NGOs to create common frameworks of accountability. Such frameworks extend beyond financial reporting and include issues such as human rights and governance. We will share examples of good governance practices that aim to enhance the enabling environment for NGOs and increase aid effectiveness. P.P. PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, 8050 Zürich We look forward to meeting you over breakfast!

Please send me the documentation of the event. Trust, transparency and accountability are of growing importance in the NGO sector. The competition for donor funds and the increasing expectations from donors require NGOs to demonstrate the value they bring. In return for the funds, donors are requesting assurance reports in accordance with different audit standards. We will give examples of the current practices in this area and provide thoughts around effective ways to meet donor expectations. Date/signature: David Mason, Assurance Partner, PwC; Louis Massicotte, Assurance Manager, PwC The challenge for managers is to follow developments, anticipate changes and not miss out on opportunities. Gill Sivyer Partner Global Leader International Development Donor reporting Telephone: 9.05am Address: Gill Sivyer, Partner, Global Leader International Development, PwC Position: 9.00amIntroduction Company: The not-for-profit sector is operating in an increasingly complex and more highly regulated world. Governments, donors and taxpayers expect international organisations − including the United Nations − and civil society to be much more accountable and transparent in the way they operate and spend and account for their funds. Senior teams at multilateral and bilateral organisations and NGOs are increasingly expanding their range of managerial skills to meet these new demands. PwC is actively involved in the Geneva NGO community, and is particularly familiar with the current preoccupations and hot topics. The NGO Breakfast is a great opportunity to meet with PwC experts and other practitioners encountering similar issues. If you would like to attend please register, as the number of participants will be limited.
