How a Nonprofit Employee Embezzled $12 Million over 4 Years: Safeguarding your donors’ dollars and trust
October 12, 2017 at 2pmET/1pmCT/11amPT
Donors used to believe that nonprofit practices were sacrosanct, but an increase in major scandals and the rise of unethical practices have brought mistrust to the table. Nonprofit organizations are reported as being the second most frequent target of fraud and abuse committed by trusted insiders, such as employees. Many staff, board members and donors think financial auditors are responsible for catching fraudulent activity, but that is a common misconception. How can you protect your organization from unethical behavior and stay focused on your mission?
In this webinar, we will discuss the ethical threats facing nonprofits. We will dissect a real world case study where an employee of a well-known national nonprofit organization embezzled $12 million and was never caught by the organization (his wife turned him in). We will provide you with specific action steps that can be immediately implemented to safeguard your nonprofit against such threats.
