Over the past decade, not-for-profit organizations have improved and increased the role of governing boards. Many mission-minded board members have become more focused on the fiscal responsibility that comes with board membership. A renewed interest in financial reporting and internal controls within not-for profit organizations has led many boards to question their composition, structure and role. Donors and other funding sources are asking tough questions, too. They want to make sure organizations are good supervisors of their resources and spending money for intended purposes.
As a result of these issues and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation this past decade, best practices have evolved to help not-for-profit organizations evaluate the effectiveness of their financial reporting processes. These best practices improve independence, eliminate conflicts of interest and instill confidence that financial reporting is accurate and ethical.
Even so, the role of governing bodies should continually be evaluated and improved.
