Critical risk areas in not-for-profit organizations: Social enterprise, GST/HST, employment and payroll

Manage issues before they occur by learning to identify, assess, and fulfill your not-for-profit organization’s legal obligations.

Understanding your organization’s legal obligations is critical for not-for-profit leaders. The ability to plan with foresight is what helps determine where your organization is today, where it could be in the future – and how to bring that vision to life.
