Making the Most of your 990 Return: A Red Flag Guide for Nonprofits

A webinar with Chuck McLean

Monday, February 13th, 2017

2:00pm - 3:00pm EST      

Many nonprofits make the mistake of thinking their 990 returns are less important than an audit. Boards may give the 990 a cursory look before signing off, but not many look carefully at areas that might be considered red flags to the reporters and donors that access Guidestar on a regular basis, or even to the IRS. As the IRS states clearly, nonprofits must consider the 990 their most public-facing document and the basis on which many will judge an organization.

Among the things to be addressed:

  • What are the most common red flags for reporters and regulators?
  • What can you do to clarify your finances to donors on Guidestar, where they are most likely to access your information?

This will be a vividly illustrated, must-do financial leadership webinar for executives, CFOs, and board members.
