Financial Systems Gap Assessment for Nonprofit Leaders
Identify where your financial management systems are strong, where gaps exist, and where integrated support could protect your mission.
How to Use This Worksheet
Rate each statement on a scale of 1 to 3 based on how true it is for your organization right now. Be honest: this is a tool for clarity, not judgment. Your lowest-scoring areas are where risk lives, and where partnership can have the most immediate impact.
1 = Not in place or significant gap
2 = Partially in place or inconsistent
3 = Fully in place and functioning well
