Answering this question is the keystone to advancing community benefit and building financial health. This workshop explores the process of screening programs against your desired community outcomes so that you can determine the best portfolio of programs to carry forward into your next budgeting and strategy window. The process builds organizational integrity and sets the stage for more sophisticated financial analysis of the work that you do.

Participants should come with both a list of organizational programs/effort and a list of general community outcomes your organization seeks to advance.

Come and Learn about nonprofit internal controls and fraud basics

Internal control issues have been at the forefront of the public’s attention in recent years. Failures in internal controls have led to financial statement fraud, misappropriation of assets, and intentional misuse of grant funds.

We will discuss internal control and what unique fraudulent activities are perpetrated in these organizations and what makes nonprofit organizations vulnerable to fraud.

This course is most beneficial to professionals new to internal control and fraud detection who may be staff or entry level but also for experienced professionals with limited exposure to these topics.
