Nonprofits Need An Independent Expert To Evaluate Executive Pay

With added IRS scrutiny and the ever-increasing need for added funding/donors, Trustees and Directors of nonprofits need independent expert guidance and input to set competitive executive compensation and to document/demonstrate its objectivity and reasonableness. Concurrently, funding and donation sources/donors are also increasing their scrutiny to assure their interests are protected.
