Celebrating community capability through accounting

ANCAD’s Community Accounting Celebration Ceremony will be held on 19 November 2026 at Massey University’s campus, recognising the people and organisations who have contributed to this year’s programme.

Delivered through a collaboration between ANCAD and Massey University, the Community Accounting programme supports charities and small not-for-profit organisations to strengthen their financial systems, processes and confidence. Volunteer accounting students work alongside participating community groups, with guidance from experienced Chartered Accountant mentors. Groups receive practical support with their accounting needs, while students gain valuable experience applying their learning in a community setting.

The ceremony will acknowledge all participating community groups, the volunteer students who have contributed their time and skills, and the Chartered Accountant mentors who have shared their expertise. It will also recognise the ANCAD and Massey University staff whose collaboration makes the programme possible.

Together, we will celebrate the learning, relationships and shared effort that help community organisations manage their finances with greater confidence and continue their work in our communities.
