Nonprofit Board Financial Management and Fiscal Oversight are Critical

From overseeing the budget, to selecting an auditor, to reviewing your organization’s annual Form 990, providing fiscal governance is a critical function of nonprofit boards and a fiduciary responsibility of individual directors.

The D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center provides a resource guide for nonprofit directors on their financial oversight duties and, in partnership with Exponentum™, a webinar on financial management practices for nonprofits. Budgeting and financial management are also covered as part of our regular Board Basics A-Z training series.
