Not For Profit
Challenges and Solutions
In today's competitive business environments, not-for-profit organizations must compete for donations, grants, funds and other sources of income while also meeting GAAP compliance demands and producing Statement of Financial Activities plus handling the multiple auditing demands of donors and grant organizations.
Competition
The rise of pervasive 24/7 online news and communications media is intensifying competition for many NFP’s as these media inspire near instantaneous charity appeals and good causes.
Pressure on costs
These trends are pressuring charities to streamline financial, forecasting and budgeting systems, reporting and operational communication within their organizations. The NFP sector still faces complex service delivery, administration and reporting frameworks while attempting to reduce costs.
Consequently, charities and other not-for-profit organizations are concerned with cost reduction needs, improved income management, payment regimes and standardized processes. Charities that are multi-site and globally diverse face the further challenge of streamlining processes within a geographically distributed organization.
