The Checklist for Accountability, developed by the Independent Sector, outlines actions every charitable organization can take to strengthen transparency and accountability. Because creating an accountable organization is an ongoing process, board and staff members should review recommended practices regularly and adjust their rules, methods and communications as needed. The steps listed in the Checklist will help every charitable organization reassure its stakeholders of its commitment to upholding the public trust vital to earning support and fulfilling its mission.
