Transparency
Strategic Analysis of Finance and Stakeholders in Nonprofit & Public Sectors
As part of public service, nonprofits and government hold a commitment to being transparent in their activities, finances, and stakeholder relations. Trillions of dollars are available for public viewing through documents and databases managed by leadership and the entities themselves.
However, the information can be difficult to find, integrate, and report for use. Indicators of risk are not always clear. Nonprofit and public administration have dynamic practices, differing from for-profit business.
In data mining public records, ABS extracts vital information on nonprofit organizations and government initiatives, to strengthen administrative efforts for philanthropists, accountants/auditors, market research, IT, legal teams, leadership, and the general public.
- Financial & Stakeholder Analysis of Nonprofits and Government -
ABS researches individual organizations, stakeholders, and total sectors to provide clarity on financial activities, relationships within nonprofit and public arenas, and potential risks. Reports provide initial findings with direct reference to public sources. Sources include charity IRS filings, government records on grantmaking, and campaign finance databases.
- Assistance to Internal Teams and Stakeholders -
ABS has a team of highly trained and innovative individuals with strong backgrounds in financial analysis, risk assessment, and philanthropy. ABS's competitive intelligence takes reports one step further by supporting internal reviews of organizations, fields, and regions. The team makes specific recommendations for donors, accountants, auditors, attorneys, and community partners to address activities which may impact the organization or affiliation. By engaging nonprofit and public transparency into the administrative process, stakeholders and support teams are provided an increased capacity to contribute to the entity's strengths.
- Competitive Intelligence Reports -
Competitive intelligence reports covering nonprofit/public markets are available by request. Private projects are funded on an hourly rate as a consultation fee, as similar to for-profit sector market data. Reports are payable by donation for special causes, such as partnership in fundraising, or larger research projects covering total sectors.
Workshops in nonprofit financial analysis and risk assessment available by request..
