Summary: Nonprofit organizations play a big role in today's economy. According to research by the Independent Sector, there are more than 1.1 million nonprofit organizations that generate $1.5 trillion in revenue. However, these organizations that work so hard to do good in the world are some of the most susceptible to fraud. The combination of a trusting environment and lack of internal controls make nonprofits a regular target for fraud.
