Though not-for-profit organizations are subject to increased scrutiny, there has been no detailed guidance for their audit committees. This book fills the void and helps not-for-profit organizations answer these questions:\u003cbr\u003e * In today's skeptical environment, how can responsible financial governance and reporting reassure wary donors and supporters, and perhaps give the organization a competitive advantage?\u003cbr\u003e * How should the audit committee be structured?\u003cbr\u003e * Which Sarbanes-Oxley requirements (if any) should the audit committee adopt?\u003cbr\u003e * Which best practices best fit the organization's structure and financial reporting needs?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Complete with checklists, sample questions, and an index for quick reference, Not-for-Profit Audit Committee Best Practices covers:\u003cbr\u003e * Different types and unique characteristics of not-for-profit organizations\u003cbr\u003e * The audit committee's role in preventing and detecting fraud\u003cbr\u003e * Important internal controls and the internal audit function\u003cbr\u003e * The relationship of the audit committee and the independent auditor\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This heads-up, hands-on guide helps audit committee members select and structure appropriate best practices and function in the most effective manner for their unique not-for-profit organizations.
