Nonprofits inherently feel a squeeze on resources. Most funds tend to be directed toward advancing your external cause rather than to supporting administration. Getting more than core objectives accomplished can be a real struggle—and doing so within budget, nearly impossible. 

Nonprofit managers and administrators are accountable for the financial activities of the organization to benefactors, boards of directors, and often their community. And grant applications or other funding pursuits must demonstrate your organization’s accountability, sound management, and reliable resources.

PSK satisfies your assurance needs and financial reporting requirements for boards of directors. We also perform accounting, bookkeeping, and audit procedures that help bring to fruition a stable, sustainable operating plan. By having our team scrutinize your accounting processes and records, everyone involved can gain confidence in your financial security.

Charities, trade associations, churches, national sororities, and private schools often rely on volunteer efforts to coordinate programs and events. Many volunteers handle cash regularly, but few organizations have proper controls in place to assure cash and other assets are safeguarded.

Fraud audits can also be performed to detect a known or suspected fraud occurrence—or just reduce the opportunity for it. As much as we hate to mention it, groups with an altruistic mission tend to trust volunteers too readily, and some people actually prey on that.

Maintaining 501(c)(3) tax exempt status is a key concern. Our team prepares your Forms 990 and other reports. We also develop internal control systems, record keeping procedures, statistical benchmarking reports, and help with annual projects such as budget preparation and analysis.

If your needs don’t require, or your budget prevents employing a full-time controller or CFO, PSK provides interim or part-time financial oversight through our rent-a-controller services.

Call on the CPA firm that knows how to help you further your organization’s cause.

How to Get and Keep Corporate Sponsorships Despite a Poor Economy
9/6/2010 8:00:10 PM About.com Nonprofit Charitable Orgs

Gail Bower, astute specialist in sponsorship, published a book more than a year ago titled, How to Jump-Start Your Sponsorship Strategy in Tough Times.

Well, tough times continue, and Bower's advice in this small, jam-packed book remains as relevant as it was a year ago.

Bower was inspired to write her book in the wake of the financial pressures on companies as they rode the tide of recession, but also because of the waves of public disapproval that battered many corporations and financial institutions. As the government poured money into rescuing entire business sectors, every move and expenditure was publicized and questioned by a chorus of critics from the general public to congress to the White House.

Don't Let 9/11 Be Just Another Day
9/5/2010 10:00:45 PM About.com Nonprofit Charitable Orgs

This month marks the ninth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. 9/11 is also an official National Day of Service when we are all encouraged to find an opportunity to give back to our communities.

This year, there is a new website at www.911dayofservice.org where you can find a way to volunteer, record your support of a particular cause, and share the information with your friends and family.

All of the activities this year are in preparation for the 10th anniversary next year. The hope is that 100,000 organizations will enroll between now and 9/11 2011 and connect individuals to service opportunities.

Meanwhile Scholastic, the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books and a leader in educational technology and children's media, has developed a course of study for teachers and schools to help instruct students in age appropriate and constructive ways on the events of 9/11. The goal is to inspire students to pay tribute through voluntary charitable service and good deeds.

Television and radio service announcements, featuring actors Gary Sinise and Denis Leary, will be viewed nationwide this year thanks to the support of the National Association of Broadcasters, Clear Channel, many of the major networks, and cable channels.
