Resolving Nonprofit Governance Challenges
Nonprofits are feeling pressure from external auditors, board members, and donors to re-examine their risk mitigation processes. Ongoing legislative activity is also driving new governance guidelines and mandates for charitable and philanthropic organizations. According to a 2005 The Economist whitepaper “Reputation: Risk of Risks,” there is growing awareness of the reputational risks affecting nonprofit organizations, as compliance issues can pose an even greater risk to organizations’ reputations than service quality.
EthicsPoint provides hundreds of leading nonprofit organizations with an important aspect of their overall approach toward enhanced nonprofit governance. Nonprofits using the EthicsPoint framework benefit from early awareness and prevention of fraudulent behavior; reduced financial, legal and reputational risk; and easy access to reports needed to drive organizational improvement.
