Building the Knowledge Base of Nonprofit Management:
A Searchable Database
Government, Funded Nonprofits, and Accountability
Abstract
Explores the state side of accountability issues in nonprofit-state
relationships in Australia, drawing on 1994 interview data from 11
program officers in two Queensland human services departments & 8
executives of nonprofit human services organizations. Findings
suggests that significant constraints hinder the ability of state
funding bodies to manage accountability processes for grant funds. The
issues identified -- eg, funding, size, staff overload -- permit
reflection on the possible mediating impact of different political
systems on accountability processes & on the limitations of
principal-agent frameworks in building accountability processes &
state-nonprofit relations. 27 References. Adapted from the source
document.
