Model Policies and Procedures for Not-for-Profit Organizations (PDF)

What every not-for-profit must know about accounting, tax, and
reporting requirements

In the challenging world of not-for-profit management, executives
are held responsible for virtually every aspect of their
organization's activities, such as legal issues, marketing,
lobbying, editorial, membership operations, budgeting, and, of
course, finance. For one person to be an authority in every area,
however, is virtually impossible.

Completely revised and expanded, the Fourth Edition of this
invaluable tool is useful as a guide to nonprofit accountants,
financial managers, and executives new to the area of financial
management. Addressing the accounting, internal control, and office
administration issues that confront executives in nonprofit
organizations, this book:

* Helps professionals develop formal policies in accounting and
finance

* Shows how to strengthen an organization's financial procedures
while assuring board members that they are meeting fiduciary
