Learn more about promoting financial accountability with our free* webinar, Mind the Gaps: Where Audits End and Board Oversight Begins

Fraud prevention starts at the top, and your township board plays a pivotal role in setting the tone. While audits are important, they don’t catch every risk. We’ll break down the board’s responsibilities, where audits help (and don’t), and key policy best practices to strengthen internal controls. You’ll leave with actionable steps to enhance oversight, recognize red flags and foster a culture of accountability. (*Free to MTA members only; available for purchase for non-members.)
