چکیده مقاله :
موسسات غیرانتفاعی سهام صادر نمی کنند و مأموریت آنها حداکثرسازی سود نیست. درحالی که مدیران موسسات غیرانتفاعی با مسئله پاسخگویی به سهامداران مواجه نیستند، آنان باید به اهداکنندگان و کمک کنندگان که منبع مهم سرمایه اند، پاسخگو باشند. این کمک کنندگان و اهداکنندگان منابع نا محدود ندارند و بنابراین موسسات غیرانتفاعی باید برای جذب سرمایه رقابت نمایند. اگر موسسه ای کنترل داخلی نامطلوبی داشته باشد، اهداکنندگان و کمک کنندگان می توانند به حمایت موسسه ای دیگر بپردازند، جایی که احتمال می رود استفاده کارآمدتری از سرمایه شود. هدف اصلی این مطالعه، شناسایی علائم هشداردهنده وجود مشکلات کنترل داخلی در موسسات غیرانتفاعی است. نمونه نهایی مورد استفاده برای این مطالعه شامل 162 عضو جامعه حسابداران رسمی ایران می باشد. همچنین به منظور گردآوری داده ها، از پرسشنامه استفاده شده است. به منظور پردازش داده ها، از آمار توصیفی و آزمون فریدمن استفاده شده است.نتایج پژوهش نشان می دهد که از نظر اعضای جامعه حسابداران رسمی ایران، پیچیدگی سازمانی، وجود کسری، انتقال گیرنده جدید بودن، خطر تداوم فعالیت، سطح ریسک و کوچک بودن موسسه حسابرسی کننده سال گذشته، از علائم بااهمیت وجود نقاط ضعف در سیستم کنترل داخلی موسسات غیر انتفاعی قلمداد می شوند. Abstract Nonprofit organizations do not issue shares and their missions are not to maximize profit. While nonprofit managers are not accountable to shareholders, they are accountable to donors and grantors who provide an important source of capital. These donors and grantors do not have limitless resources and, therefore, nonprofit organizations must compete for funding. If an organization has an internal control problem, donors and grantors could choose to support another organization where, presumably, the capital is used more efficiently. The main purpose of this study is to explore warning signs of existence internal control problems in nonprofit organizations. The final sample used for this study consists of 162 members of Iranian Association of Certified Public Accountants. Also, data were collected using a questionnaire survey. Descriptive statistics and Friedman test were used to analyze data. The result of this study showed that from viewpoint of the members of Iranian Association of Certified Public Accountants, organizational complexity, deficit, new grantee, going concern risk, risk level and smallness of audit firm in prior year are important warning signs of existence internal control problems in nonprofit organizations.
