The multi-modality of downwards accountability to beneficiaries within nonprofit organisations.
In: 14th Australian and New Zealand Third Sector Research Conference 2018, 29 Nov 2018 - 30 Nov 2018, Sydney, Australia.
Abstract
Accountability to beneficiary stakeholder groups of nonprofit organisations is frequently referred to as downwards accountability. Framed through accounting’s neo-liberal lens which privileges certain stakeholder groups, beneficiaries are typically less powerful and less able to hold nonprofit organisations to account. Adopting a critical perspective, this research seeks to empower beneficiary stakeholder groups to hold nonprofit organisations to account, through the development of participatory evaluation frameworks for use within nonprofit organisations.
