Protecting Nonprofit Assets
Why Your Nonprofit Needs Internal Controls
All nonprofit organizations, regardless of size, need to fulfill three basic fiduciary duties: employees and the board understand the financial responsibilities of the organization, the organizational assets need to be managed properly, and the charitable mission must be carried out properly. To ensure these duties occur, all nonprofits should have a system of internal controls in place.
