Nonprofit organizations are facing increasing pressure — from funding challenges and donor fatigue to rising expectations for measurable impact and operational efficiency.

For some organizations, the path forward may involve thinking differently about collaboration.

Our newest blog post, “Stronger Together: The Case for Nonprofit Mergers, Acquisitions, and Collaborations,” explores how affiliations, asset transfers, mergers, and strategic partnerships can help nonprofits strengthen capacity, reduce duplication, and better support their mission.

For boards and nonprofit leaders, these conversations are not only about structure — they are about long-term sustainability, stewardship, and impact.

Nonprofits are built on trust- but trust still needs controls.

Not-for-profit organizations can face unique fraud risks, especially when financial responsibilities are concentrated in too few hands, policies are informal, vendor oversight is limited, or internal controls have not kept pace with growth.

CPAs can play an important role in helping nonprofit leaders and boards spot potential red flags, including:

• Weak segregation of duties
• Unusual vendor activity
• Missing or inconsistent documentation
• Limited board financial oversight
• Unexplained changes in expenses or payroll
• Cybersecurity and email compromise risks

Identifying these warning signs early can help organizations tighten controls, strengthen accountability, and reduce exposure before small issues become serious problems.

At Jacobson Jarvis & Co., we support nonprofit organizations with audit and assurance services designed to promote transparency, compliance, and financial integrity.

Read the Journal of Accountancy article below, and contact Jacobson Jarvis & Co. to discuss how stronger oversight and internal controls can help protect your organization’s mission.

CPAs can help not-for-profits spot the red flags of common schemes, so they can take steps to tighten controls and reduce exposure.

New Year. Renewed Stewardship. Strengthened Impact.

The start of a new year is a valuable pause for nonprofit boards and leaders—a moment to step back, reflect, and refocus on what matters most.

Progress and challenges go hand in hand. Strong oversight, transparency, and intentional leadership ensure today’s successes don’t come at tomorrow’s expense.
