This is framed more as an HR topic than accounting one, but I'm going to guess many of the nonprofit financial staff out there where multiple hats. I like to say that I do all of the "non-fun" stuff in a nonprofit; accounting, HR and IT.
Many of us use volunteers, but are we doing it the right way? Volunteers work with us because they care about the cause and want to help so by nature may be disinclined to take action against us should something go wrong. But that is not something we should count on and you will be exposing your organization to unnecessary risk if you do so. This article presents something for us to think about and these resources from the Nonprofit Risk Management Center can help set up an run an effective volunteer program.
