Fraud & Internal Controls In Nonprofit Organizations

This thesis examines several cases of fraud that has occurred in nonprofit organizations across the United States. It also looks at what fraud is and how it affects nonprofit organizations. As well as what can lead loyal volunteers and community members to commit fraud in their local nonprofit organization, thereby reducing the amount of resources the nonprofit has to work towards its mission in the community. Finally, it looks at what internal controls can be put in place by nonprofit organizations to reduce their fraud risk.
