Transparency has reached a new level in the not-for-profit arena.  Here are a few questions to ask yourself to see how ready you are to deal with this growing challenge.

 

Do you feel confident in the way in which your organization is governed?  

 

Do you have a resource for your Board, so they can get the best advice about the accounting policies and internal controls of your organization?  

 

Will you be ready when, not if, your 990 is scrutinized by someone on the other end of a computer screen?

 

If you answered "no" to any of the above, here's how Ryun, Givens & Company can help:
