Preparing for a Nonprofit Audit: What Boards Should Know

For nonprofit organizations, an audit is not merely a financial event, it is a governance responsibility.

While management and finance staff carry out much of the technical preparation, the board of directors holds fiduciary oversight. Donors, grantors, regulators, and community stakeholders rely on audited financial statements to assess transparency, stewardship, and operational integrity.
