Internal Controls in Nonprofit Organizations: The Case of the American Cancer Society, Ohio Division

Abstract

The authors present a case study of what went wrong in the Ohio Division of the American Cancer Society in the late 1990s, leading to massive fraud. They discuss conditions that allowed the fraud to go undetected for several years and make recommendations for creating internal control systems to keep other nonprofits from facing this type of loss.
