Risk Management And Internal Policies

Strong policies and training help nonprofits protect people, finances, and reputation. Boards need clear tools for conflicts of interest, financial oversight, record retention, and safety in programs that serve children, youth, and other vulnerable participants.

Why Policies Matter For Nonprofit Risk

Written policies set expectations for staff, volunteers, and board members. They guide daily decisions, provide structure during stressful events, and show regulators and donors that the organization takes stewardship seriously.

Core Governance And Financial Policies

We work with boards and executives to build and update key governance and financial policies. Focus areas often include:

• Conflict of interest and related party transaction policies
• Whistleblower and complaint reporting procedures
• Financial controls for cash handling, disbursements, and approvals
• Document retention and destruction policies
• Policies for restricted gifts and grant reporting

Child And Youth Protection Measures

Organizations that serve children and youth carry special responsibilities. We help develop screening, supervision, reporting, and response policies that align with law and reflect good practice in abuse prevention and response.

Responding To Crises And Audits

When a crisis, allegation, or audit surfaces, boards and leaders need a clear plan. We review existing policies, assess past responses, and recommend steps that address regulatory expectations and board duties while supporting those affected.

Next Steps

If a recent incident revealed gaps in your policies or if leadership wants stronger safeguards in place, request a consultation through the contact form on this page or by phone. Working through risks in advance supports wise stewardship and protection for those you serve.
