[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in a nonprofit where they got government and private funds to do educational programming  and most of the charges to the government were fabricated.  They made up nonexistent people and billed for a percentage of their salaries.  I was asked to sign off on something where I was doing all the work and getting about 50K and they billed the government for a nonexistent employee who was supposedly getting 95K and then they pocketed the difference.  I found another job.
And the head of the nonprofit was using donated funds to pay his mortgage on his house and his car payments.  Claimed they were business expenses.[/quote]

I currently work at a nonprofit, and this runs very contradictory to my experiences working with federal funding and donations. Reputable non-profits undergo auditing each year and have a Board that is very invested in the nonprofit's work. [/quote]

Me too. At my nonprofit we have to account for literally every penny we spend from government grants. My executive director is always talking about how we need to be responsible stewards of our funds, and we take it very seriously. I'm sure there are bad nonprofits out there but they're definitely not all that way.[/quote]

I work at a non profit and run our finances and audit every year.  I practically have to provide those CPAs with body fluids.  There is NO WAY I could pull anything over on them.
