Nearly two years have passed since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was signed into law in response to a wave of highly publicized corporate accounting scandals. While applicable only to publicly traded companies, the impact of its provisions is now cascading to private organizations, including not-for-profits. Sarbanes-Oxley is just one aspect of an emerging consensus that greater attention is required on the broader issues of governance and accountability. While a governing board's financial oversight role has received the most critical attention, some discussion of its overall responsibilities is warranted.
