Nonprofit Accountability Clubs
Nonprofit Accountability Clubs seeks to better understand the phenomenon of voluntary regulation by nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The scale and scope of work done by these two entities has grown in recent years, resulting in increased governance challenges and the need for more oversight mechanisms.
This project, led by Mary Kay Gugerty, examines how voluntary oversight programs by nonprofits and NGOs can mitigate agency conflict, enhance the confidence of principals in nonprofits, and make reporting requirements less onerous. The research produced aims to answer:
- In which sectors and under what conditions do such voluntary programs emerge?
- How do these programs shape the behaviors of the principals and the nonprofits?
- Who establishes voluntary programs?
- Who participates in voluntary programs?
