AES developed the Not-For-Profit Association Best Practice Self Assessment tool to address the lack of benchmarking criteria available to NFP sector associations. Putting your association through this self assessment will be a crucial aspect of our audit and review, as it is the best way to see how your organisation performs in crucial criteria.
The tool draws on the Baldridge criteria, as well as the Australian Business Excellence Awards. The former being the internationally recognised measure of excellence in the private sector for business. The diagnostic tool was then tested over a two-year period by some of the most respected leaders in the NFP-sector.
By answering 66 questions across ten performance areas, ranging from strategic planning and governance to financial performance and leadership, you will gain an immediate understanding of how your association performs compared to the benchmark scores of other associations across the ten areas.
Following our audit and inspection, we will also be on hand to help implement any changes that are deemed necessary. We can even provide you with some of our other services, such as our strategic planning and development, board governance and training support or full administration and secretariat offerings.
