An effective audit committee can be your not-for-profit organization’s best friend, safeguarding its most valuable asset: its reputation. Audit committees are tasked with providing experience, oversight and direction. Well-run committees ensure that management implements and follows an effective system of internal controls, and that outside auditors objectively assess the organization’s financial reporting practices. Through these and related efforts, audit committees strengthen their organizations by protecting their integrity, financial health and long-term viability.
