Captured within masculine accounting: Accountability of non-profit organizations

Abstract

Nonprofit organizations have feminine goals. Yet policy and regulation are requiring inappropriate masculine accountability that emphatically entrenches measurement. Trust is an appropriate feminine substitute for the masculine measurement embedded in traditional accounting. The question is how this trust can be assessed and communicated to funding bodies and other constituents? Qualitative methods for assessment and communication are advocated to attain this trust-accountability.
