AfCAA Standards
We have developed seven Biblical standards of stewardship and accountability that enable organizations to ensure accountability in the mobilization and utilization of the resources they require to fulfil their mission.
The essence of the seven Biblical standards is to secure commitment to enhancing and sustaining accountability in all areas of life – in this generation – with a view to ensuring that the standards are passed on to the next generation.
