The role of the nonprofit board has changed dramatically in the last three years. With the Grassley Hearings in 2004 and 2005, the high-profile scandals at nonprofits such as the United Way of the National Capital Area and the James Beard Foundation, nonprofit boards are under significant scruitiny.
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.
