JOVOC's Grassroots Basketball Vision Continues to Deliver National Success

St. Joseph's Vocational School - JOVOC (@Jovoc1980) continues to set the pace in secondary school basketball, proving that consistent investment in grassroots talent development yields remarkable results.

The school's impressive journey began with winning the Ankole Regional Basketball Championship, earning the opportunity to represent the region at the 2026 National Ball Games. From there, JOVOC's basketball program has continued to flourish, collecting major accolades along the way.

In May 2026, JOVOC were crowned Nyakasura 3x3 Basketball Champions, adding another prestigious title to an already successful campaign. The school also lifted the U20 3x3 Ankole Regional Championship, securing qualification to the national stage. The U17 Boys then emerged as Ankole Regional Champions, further demonstrating the strength and consistency of JOVOC's basketball development pathway.

The biggest achievement came at the National Ball Games II, hosted at Sacred Heart SS Gulu, where the U17 Boys delivered an outstanding performance to finish third in Uganda, earning the bronze medal. This remarkable achievement has secured JOVOC's qualification to represent Uganda at the East Africa Secondary Schools Games in Kigali, Rwanda, this August.
These accomplishments are a testament to years of strategic investment in grassroots talent development, disciplined coaching, and unwavering support from the school administration.

JOVOC has firmly established itself as one of Uganda's leading basketball development schools, consistently producing teams capable of competing and excelling at the highest level.

Special appreciation goes to the school administration for its continued commitment to nurturing talent and creating an environment where student-athletes can thrive. Credit also goes to the coaching staff for their passion, dedication, and belief in the players, and to every student who has worn the JOVOC jersey with pride, determination, and resilience.

As JOVOC prepares to represent Uganda at the East Africa Secondary Schools Games, the school carries not only its own ambitions but also the hopes of the Ankole Region and the nation. The journey from grassroots to the regional, national, and now East African stage is proof that with vision, commitment, and hard work, excellence is achievable.

Congratulations, Team JOVOC. The flag continues to fly higher.

On to Kigali! 🇷🇼

TAX TIP TUESDAY
Vicious cycle – Uganda’s tax interest and penalties waivers

The Uganda Tax Procedures Code Act (TPCA), provides for specific waivers of interest and penalties. The interest is calculated at a rate of 2% per month, compounded.

The following is a chronology of the amendments to the TPCA since 2020:
i.TPCA Sec 40C: Waiving tax interest/penalties as at 30 June 2020;
ii.TPCA Sec 40D: Waiving tax interest/penalties as at 30 June 2023;
iii.TPCA Sec 47A: Extension of 40D waiving tax interest/penalties as at 30 June 2023;
iv.TPCA Section 47B: Waiving tax interest/penalties as at 30 June 2024.

With the current deadline of 30 June 2026 looming, Uganda Government is thinking of another waiver. In all the above, the deadlines came and passed but the tax payers remained grappling with huge tax bills outstanding. Consequently, the interest and penalty waivers has become a vicious cycle. One of the solutions is to consider reducing tax interest rate from 2% to 0.5% per month, simple interest.

𝗜𝗡𝗣𝗔𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗣𝗢 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮
A 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗿𝗮 is taking shape for non-profit organizations.
The introduction of the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 (𝗜𝗡𝗣𝗔𝗦) signals a 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 in how NPOs report, communicate, and demonstrate impact both globally and here in Uganda.

Officially launched on 𝟮𝟭 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 under the 𝗜𝗙𝗥𝟰𝗡𝗣𝗢 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, INPAS is the result of 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to build a dedicated accounting framework tailored specifically for the non-profit sector.
In Uganda, stakeholders were introduced to the standard in 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 during an NGO symposium hosted by @ICPAU1 (Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda), where its 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 began to take center stage.
For years, many Ugandan NPOs have relied on a 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗙𝗥𝗦, 𝗜𝗣𝗦𝗔𝗦, 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀. While functional, this mix often leads to 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, especially in how 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 are presented.
𝗜𝗡𝗣𝗔𝗦 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁.
As the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 for non-profits, it offers a 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗹-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 designed to bring 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 to financial reporting across the sector.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲?
INPAS is expected to significantly enhance how NPOs account for:
• Donor funding and grant conditions
• Restricted vs Unrestricted funds
• Accrual-based reporting
• Programmed vs administrative cost allocation
• Comparability across organizations

While full adoption will depend on direction from regulators and professional bodies, 2026 is already shaping up as a transition year. Sensitization efforts are underway, and forward-looking organizations are beginning to align their systems, policies, and reporting frameworks in anticipation.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮’𝘀 𝗡𝗣𝗢 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿
For organizations, especially those supported by international donors, INPAS presents a real opportunity to strengthen:
• Transparency and Accountability
• Donor confidence and funding credibility
• Financial statement comparability
• Governance and oversight

𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲:
• Start familiarizing yourself with INPAS now, don’t wait for external pressure.
• Assess your current reporting framework against INPAS requirements
• Train your finance teams
• Engage your auditor early in the transition process
