Although considerable efforts have been made to improve the accuracy and accessibility of Form 990, questions remain as to whether this data source is the most desirable foundation for a system of nonprofit accountability. Taking a broad perspective on financial accountability, this article assesses not only the quality and availability of the financial data, but also the entire financial-reporting model. The article develops a framework for thinking critically about nonprofit financial accountability. After examining the current structure of nonprofit financial reporting and contrasting it with alternative systems developed for other industries, the article concludes with recommendations for reengineering nonprofit financial accountability. - Reproduced. aNonprofit organizations aFrumkin, Peter aPublic Administration Review a57437 c57437d57437 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 63, Issue no: 1pAR57882r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
