			<description><![CDATA[(April/May 2013) The IRS can apply penalties or intermediate sanctions to nonprofit organizations that pay executives or board members too much relative to the market. Transactions with family members and their related businesses can also be subject to penalties and even the tax exempt status of the organization could be revoked. If there was excessive compensation the person must reimburse the organization. There can also be stiff penalties in excess of 200 percent. The organization's managers who participated in the transaction may also be fined an aggregate of $10,000 per violation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[(February/March 2013) Complete the National Nonprofit Sustainability and Succession Survey
Organizational sustainability is key to consistent, long-term mission results and effectiveness for nonprofit organizations. Research indicates that the intersection of leadership, strategy, resources and culture is the place where organizational sustainability is advanced or weakened, with leadership being an absolutely essential ingredient. Research also shows that approximately 1 in 10 nonprofit CEO positions turn over each year, and turnover is rising as Boomer generation executives retire. Leadership transitions are inevitable - it is simply a matter of when, how, and how well the transition is managed. Moreover, the recession is causing many nonprofits to rethink their strategy and business models.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[(February/March 2013) Five steps to help reduce fraud in not-for-profit organizations
When many people think about fraud, their thoughts usually turn to banks, investment firms and large businesses. But don't be fooled. Not-for-profit organizations – including many charities, colleges, religious entities and trade groups – are often easy targets for sophisticated fraud schemes.
In its 2012 Report to the Nation, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) said that frauds occurring in not-for-profit operations make up about 10 percent of all reported cases. While that's well behind the 28 percent of frauds reported to law enforcement from public companies, the median losses are relatively close ($127,000 for public companies, $100,000 for not-for-profit entities). However, that impact of fraud losses is often far greater on charitable and service organizations because many of these entities do not have strong cash reserves to cover unexpected shortfalls.]]></description>
