Internal Controls for Small Not-for-Profit Organizations

Having strong internal controls is critical to the financial and overall health of your not-for-profit organization, but small not-for-profits generally have a limited number of staff and/or volunteers responsible for the organization’s finances. For this reason, setting up and maintaining controls presents a myriad of challenges. This workshop will cover how small not-for-profit organizations can develop strong internal controls over your operations and accounting systems. The workshop will also explain why having good internal controls procedures in place is so important in light of new auditing standards that will impact the audit of your organization.

You will learn:

What internal controls are and why they are important to your organization
How small organizations can put strong controls in place
New auditing standards and what auditors are now required to report about your internal controls procedures.
Primary fraud risks that small not-for-profits face.

Who Should Attend:

Staff and volunteers responsible for the finance function of small not-for-profit organizations. This workshop is ideally suited for organizations where the finance function is handled by three or fewer individuals.
