This book can help ensure a nonprofit's funds are used to help the needy and not wasted on lining a fraudster's pockets." -Toby J. F.

No doubt, it will inspire many readers to take a fresh look at their organizations' practices. Zack easily cuts through the fluff and zeroes in on the critical points.

Following Zack's advice has the potential for radically reducing the amount of fraud in nonprofits." -Karla Snellings Deputy Director, NW3C (National White Collar Crime Center) In a climate in which public trust is at an all-time low, nonprofit organizations and their directors must take action to prevent fraud and abuse before their good name-and financial support-is damaged or lost forever.
