Accountability and Transparency, Part 1

Guidestar has another good piece on accountability and transparency. The top piece of information people listed as how they show they are accountable are the audited financial statements. All most all the things people listed come from the admin and finance side and to me show once again how important these roles are in any size nonprofit.

It also reminds me to remind you that if you have not done so please do go on to GuideStar.org and find your 990. If you have filed one they have it listed. But the nice folks there allow us to add to the information up there, describe our programs in more detail, add accomplishments and goals and even explain things if you think your organizations numbers are a bit off. As one of the first place someone may go to research your organization it behooves us all to keep our info current.
