Governance

CPA Advisory Services for Nonprofit Oversight & Accountability

Nonprofit Success Begins with Excellent Governance Practices

Whether you are a small nonprofit, just starting up, or a national association, effective board governance is crucial in achieving your mission.

Boards have four key responsibilities: Legal and Fiduciary, Oversight, Fundraising and Representation of the Stakeholders in the mission of the organization. Depending on the size and scope of your nonprofit, the type of board you instill may vary. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all board and Wegner CPAs’ nonprofit experts will help you identify the governance needs of your organization.
