Not-for-profit organizations face unique challenges as they depend on both individual and corporate support and donations to accomplish their mission. To maintain support, they must demonstrate unquestionable integrity and prove that incoming donations are being utilized and distributed as promised.
With recent documented proof of unethical conduct and abuse within some not-for-profits and charities, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance remains squarely focused on instituting major reforms and new regulations for not-for-profit organizations with Senator Charles Grassley leading the charge. And, with this in mind, a number of major international charities are inviting outside inspectors to certify that donations are being spent as portrayed with hopes of staying ahead of the Congressional movement and alleviating public fears of improprieties.
