Tax-Exempt Organizations

In today’s increasingly regulated environment, non-profit organizations face many of the same roadblocks as for-profit enterprises. With frequent changes in tax law, increased scrutiny by boards of directors and rising concerns about compliance and governance, non-profits regularly encounter an array of challenges.
