Session Level: Intermediate Speaker:David Kilmer Session Description: In today’s post-Enron world, scandals are no longer simply the result of a misappropriation of assets — the definition of fraud has drastically expanded. While nonprofit organizations are still exempt from Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, they are not exempt from the consequences of internal or external fraud. Does your organization have a written policy on internal controls that outlines required procedures and staff responsibilities? Designed for executives, as well as finance and accounting managers, this is the first session in a two part sequence that will cover:
Top fraud risks for nonprofits
Common breakdowns in internal controls
How to introduce a policy on suspected misconduct and dishonesty
Practical tips and tricks for improving accountability at your organization
How to use existing features in The Financial Edge to assist establishing internal controls
