Your vocation as a director of a nonprofit probably didn’t spring from a love of financial accounting. More likely, you saw a need to help the needy or educate or preserve the environment or provide services to the aging.
But you very quickly learned that reporting was critical to the organization and that a wide variety of reporting was necessary to satisfy donors, board members, funders, the government, supporters and the community your serve.
Not surprisingly, many nonprofits executives have mixed emotions along the lines of “the good news is that we received additional funding; the bad news is we have additional reporting requirements to go along with that funding.”
Spreadsheets help up to a point. But with each new fund and the reporting requirements that come with those fund, creating and maintaining spreadsheets can become cumbersome and time-consuming. And, they present multiple opportunities for error. For example, a simple error in a formula can lead to ongoing errors with each entry.
