 ssing and Transforming Your Nonprofit Finance Function
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Colleen Smith\nCPE Hours: 1\n\nNonprofit finance and 
 accounting teams play a critical role in supporting mission delivery\, but

 partment assessments\, the session will walk participants through a struct
 ured approach to diagnosing common inefficiencies across staffing\, workfl
 ows\, reporting\, and internal controls. The session will also feature cli
 ent perspective and lessons learned from a nonprofit organization that has
  undergone a finance operations assessment\, providing a candid view of th
 e process and outcomes. Note - Co-presenter will be a client who has worke
 d with Aprio in an assessment project for their organization.\n\nRegister:

SUMMARY:Nonprofit Symposium 2026 - From Financial Statements to Funder Conf
 idence: Using Management Accounting and AI to Prove Nonprofit Impact
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stephen King\nCPE Hours: 1.5\n\nNonprofit finance lea
 ders are facing a tougher operating environment: federal funding uncertain
 ty\, economic pressure\, rising service demand\, and increased expectation
 s from boards and funders. At the same time\, most nonprofit financial rep
 orting still stops at compliance: audits\, 990s\, budget-to-actuals\, and 
 traditional financial statements. This intermediate/advanced session shows
  how nonprofit CFOs\, controllers\, and their advisors can move beyond com
 pliance reporting by applying management accounting\, KPI design\, and res
 ponsible AI to demonstrate program economics and impact. Participants will
  learn how to connect financial data to operating drivers\, calculate more
  meaningful program costs\, identify cost-per-output and cost-per-outcome 
 measures\, and translate those numbers into board-ready and funder-ready r
 eporting. The session will also address the risks: weak chart-of-accounts 
 design\, poor labor allocation\, unsupported ROI claims\, AI-generated lan
 guage that overstates impact\, and the danger of confusing activity with o
 utcomes. Using practical nonprofit examples\, the session will show how fi
 nance teams can build a stronger bridge between accounting\, decision-maki
 ng\, and funder confidence.\n\nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/r
