Sarbanes-Oxley for Nonprofit Boards (PDF)

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) bar has been raised-is your nonprofit
board up to the task?

Nonprofit boards are in a fishbowl of scrutiny much like their
private sector counterparts. With recent media focus on
investigations of false charities, and more disturbingly, of
household-name nonprofits that have abused donor trust by
misdirecting donations, the heat is on the nonprofit board to
rehabilitate its organizational profile.

Encouraging boards to reclaim their role as the ultimate
authority within their nonprofit, nationally recognized nonprofit
expert Dr. Peggy Jackson supplies tips for leveraging the power and
value of SOX requirements within the nonprofit organization.
Containing sample documents, forms, and checklists to introduce
best practices into any nonprofit organization, this complete guide
is a practical, hands-on tool for equipping your nonprofit's board
toward a higher quality of control.

Relevant for both the large and small nonprofit organization,
this must-have book effectively brings pragmatic clarity to a
complex topic, and explains how to blend Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements into the nonprofit organization, with topics
including:

* Common factors that contribute to nonprofit board
dysfunction

* Moving nonprofit governance into the twenty-first century

* Intervention techniques for moving your board forward

* Establishing strategies for lasting change

* Creating a platinum standard for governance

Helping your nonprofit board understand and implement SOX
requirements, Sarbanes-Oxley for Nonprofit Boards will be
indispensable as a guide and will reinforce your nonprofit's
financial structure and reputation.
