The New Reality: Remote and Hybrid Work
​
Finance departments are facing many challenges in this new reality

The New Year brings a New Reality to nonprofit organizations. Working arrangements for staff, physical workspace and daily operations have changed. The changes present the following challenges:
  • Staff have a remote or hybrid work schedule with limited ability to work collaboratively onsite;
  • Operating procedures have changed and internal controls can be compromised;
  • Online access to files and automated systems must be provided;
  • The risk of cyberattacks and fraudulent activity should be mitigated. 
​Building and maintaining a strong finance department infrastructure is critical for meeting these challenges and helping to ensure the sustainability of the organization.

​A strong infrastructure includes operating procedures that are clearly defined, reviewed and updated regularly and strictly adhered to and includes automated systems, such as invoice and expense processing, that facilitate workflow, increase transparency and maintain proper internal controls
