Accountability & Legal Liability
The Management Committee must be able to account for everything the organisation does. Even though your group or organisation may have paid staff and/or volunteers, the Management Committee is ultimately responsible and may be held liable for the consequences of actions taken or not taken.
However the Management Committee is not only required to be accountable, but to be able to demonstrate this to stakeholders through ensuring that appropriate systems and procedures are in place. By doing so, they reduce their risks of personal liability should things go wrong.
This section introduces you to how Management Committees can demonstrate accountability, including a focus on monitoring and evaluation and on managing risks.
It also explores the whole area of legal liability, explaining when and why the Management Committee may be held liable and what can be done to limit this liability.
