Accountability Elements in Nonprofits

Chapter Chapter 5 in Nonprofit Organizations, 2006, pp 91-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “NGOs are influential. Nevertheless, in the future, their lack of accountability and legitimacy will curtail — or, at least, restraint — their influence capabilities.” Many of the people who collaborate with or work at nonprofit organizations will surely agree with this statement by University of Oxford Professor Alan M. Rugman (2001). Civil society organizations still need to prove to a significant share of western societies that they are not mere charitable institutions, service providers or anti-establishment activists.
