NONPROFIT LEGAL AUDIT: THE 7-POINT CHECK-UP FOR EVERY NONPROFIT
When was the last time your organization had a thorough check-up? With laws impacting nonprofits changing at a record pace - including employment laws, antitrust issues and nonprofit management rules - its hard to keep-up and make sure your organizations policies and guidelines don’t include legal traps waiting to be tripped.
This 7-point legal audit examines:
Following the audit you are provided with a report, including a step-by-step outline of recommendations to help eliminate, minimize or control legal exposure. If implementation of just one of the recommendations provided prevents a lawsuit, the legal audit will pay for itself many times over.
- Organizational and governance documents including articles of incorporation, bylaws, and internal policy manuals;
- Employment practices including employee manuals, applications, job descriptions, and the hiring and termination process;
- Membership practices including how members are accepted, disciplined and terminated;
- Intellectual property concerns including appropriate website disclaimers, copyright and trademark protection and other publication matters;
- Meeting management practices including reviewing standard contracts and providing suggested amendments;
- Contract reviews including technology contracts, facility and equipment leases, other supplier/vendor agreements, and loan and debt instruments; and
- Volunteer management including reviewing how volunteers are recruited, selected, trained, supervised and if necessary, terminated
