书籍介绍

How to keep any nonprofit out of trouble, running smoothly, and accomplishing its mission

"Jack Siegel--lawyer, accountant, management consultant, and computer whiz--takes the putative director or officer of a nonprofit organization on a useful and often entertaining voyage throughout the realm of the tax-exempt organizations universe, pointing out its quirks, foibles, and legal liabilities along the way. His handbook will make mandatory--and arresting--reading for those who are already serving as trustees, directors, officers, and key employees of exempt organizations, particularly charitable ones. Siegel's goal, in which he succeeds, is to help directors and officers of nonprofit organizations 'make better decisions.' The book is full of large policy analyses and paragraphs on the details, such as board size, board committees, board meeting formats, the contents of minutes, and the duties of officers.

Salted with some excellent real-life examples, what also sets this book apart from most in its genre is the tone: the writing style, the brusqueness, the bluntness. He complains that too many directors 'check their good judgment at the boardroom door.' He advises individuals who 'desire agreement and demand adulation' to stay off boards; he insists on 'commitment' and 'institutional tension' with the executive director. He warns prospective directors that some organizations want, in addition to time and judgment, 'either your money or your ability to raise money.' To my delight, he extols the virtues of 'some level of expenditures' for qualified lawyers and accountants.

Please join me in adding this most helpful handbook to your nonprofit library."

--Bruce R. Hopkins, Attorney at Law, author of The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations, Eighth Edition and Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide, Fourth Edition

From the Inside Flap

The first responsibility of nonprofit directors, officers, and managers is to make decisions that ensure that their organization's scarce resources are used in the most effective and efficient way possible to accomplish its mission. Failure to do so can be catastrophic, not only for the organization, but for the individuals responsible as well. When confronted, however, with the maze of complex regulations, shifting priorities, and remote but foreseeable risks that attend every nonprofit decision, how can anyone make such choices with confidence? A Desktop Guide for Nonprofit Directors, Officers, and Advisors offers a comprehensive overview of the legal, accounting, and financial issues that nonprofit directors and managers must grapple with every day. It provides the solid foundation that decision makers need to ask the right questions, understand the answers, and determine the best possible course of action in any situation. Author Jack Siegel explains the duties and responsibilities that come with the territory and shows readers how to read and analyze tax statements, obtain and maintain federal tax-exempt status, report and substantiate charitable contributions, and comply with state registration and reporting requirements, including Internet solicitation. Siegel also explores such issues as fundraising, pledges, and endowments; identifying and protecting against event and operational liabilities; director and officer indemnification and insurance; operational insurance; and risk management. Other important topics covered include: The effect of Sarbanes-Oxley reforms on nonprofit organizations The GAO audit standards Payments in lieu of taxes Form 990 The intermediate sanctions Evaluating an organization using a survey And much more Peppered with practical examples from a wide range of nonprofits, including social services agencies, schools, religious organizations, arts groups, museums, and foundations, A Desktop Guide for Nonprofit Directors, Officers, and Advisors is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to make better decisions, avoid both organizational and personal liabilities, and ensure that the nonprofit organization delivers on its promises to donors and regulators alike.

  比较烂，完全就是稍微介绍了各个学说流派，基本上就是一概论级的教材……

  通识课的«Teoría de la Administración»用这本教材倒是没问题，辅修国贸的管理学课程也用这本教材就很离谱了...

  Ideología色彩也浓得要命

  有点囫囵吞枣的意思。换个角度想，作为一个启蒙还是可以的。

• 差距

  作者：John Wayne 发布时间：2011-12-09 20:44:34

  曾听到过台湾香港的操作水平跟大陆比差不多。从这本书中还是发现差距挺大的。

  主要可能来自于国内金融产品的缺乏有关，没有丰富的衍生品，要做做避险主要还得到香港或国外市场，造成对操作眼光和手法上的限制。

  操作的武器上台湾操盘手已经超越程序化了，利用组合、日内高频、期权等获利。国内目前主要还在策略优化上。

  这是2011年的感觉。

• 那些看似平凡的“管家”们

  作者：余默 发布时间：2017-09-29 11:06:29

  《管家》是美国作家玛丽莲·罗宾逊上世纪80年代发表的长篇处女作，曾荣获海明威奖，作者本人也因其

  “优美、睿智的写作

  ”于2012年被奥巴马总统授予美国国家人文奖章，二十五年来一直在爱荷华大学的作家工作坊任教，在写作方面也颇有心得与特色，而《管家》则是其

  个人风格

  确立的开始。

  故事情节并不复杂甚至太过平淡冗长，就像我们日常所目睹的生活故事一样： 主人公露丝的外祖父因火车意外丧生湖底，外祖母作为管家只得历经辛苦抚养三个女儿成年，然而不久安静长大的女儿们全部离家独留外祖母在空荡荡的屋子；二女儿由于婚姻不幸在独身抚养女儿露丝和露西尔多年之后，终于将两个女儿送给外祖母养育自己驾车葬身湖底；在独自抚养两个孤女的外祖母过世之后又被托付给其两个年迈的姑婆来照顾，然而两个老人难以忍受苦寒的气候又担心孩子的未来，最终写信将外祖母常年漂泊在外的小女儿西尔维召唤回来代替她们照顾孩子；然而西尔维这个看似安静沉默的“管家”却有一颗流浪的心，她始终隔离于生活的指骨镇而活在幻想的远方，最终早熟的妹妹露西尔毅然离家过上日常的生活；但内心更丰富细腻的露丝对西尔维有更多理解和信赖，最终烧掉了房子跟她一起踏上了流浪的旅途。

  这是一个

  缺少冲突

  的故事，以年幼的孤女露丝的视角叙述的，

  文字却极为克制冷静

  。每一个人都在

  日常的生活中扮演自己的角色，没有丝毫挣扎的痛楚和悲情的渲染，然而那些看似平静背后的压抑与酸楚满是无人诉说的人生艰难。

  或许读者都不会注意到这是一个没有男人的残缺的家族。外祖父的意外去世使外祖母成为单身母亲要去独自拉扯三个女儿长大，并要在其长大出走后独自看管着大房子，在年老之后又要承担二女儿自杀之痛而抚养两个外孙女；三个离家出走的女儿经历了怎样的童年，最终离家又遭遇了婚姻不幸最终决定独自生活，海伦最终选择将女儿送给母亲照看自己驾车自杀内心又有多少坚守和挣扎，西尔维常年离家到处流荡不与母亲通信背后到底有怎样的隐情；最终西尔维在母亲死后回到家乡决心不再外出，留下来照顾姐姐的两个孩子时经历了怎样的挣扎，她在经过火车站和去山谷探险时常常流连忘返，但想到要照顾孩子又不得不准时返回家来做饭，她把自己流浪的灵魂禁锢在沉默的肉体中而在指骨镇中假装正常生活。这些负责“管家”的女人平静而正常的生活，然而此种不为人知的坚韧和牺牲却自有动人心魄的力量，让人感动却也心疼。

  我不愿说《管家》是一个女权主义故事，这些恰好是女性的“管家”们并没有抱怨和声讨男人对他们的压迫，也没有想要去推翻和争取自己的权力。恰恰相反，她们正是为了履行一个House Keeping的职责而在隐忍牺牲，而这些正是这些“管家”们这个世界才能正常运转。贾樟柯曾经说过，

  放弃理想要比坚持理想难得多，因为要接受和进入已经预见到的日复一日的庸常的现实生活而对奇迹和希望不再抱有渴求，只有直面现实的勇气和巨大的牺牲责任精神才可以达成

  。那些平静背后的暗流汹涌与垂死挣扎无望却真实，自能激起我们的共鸣和感动。

  走在菜市场嘈杂逼仄湿漉的流着污水的瓷砖上，我看着那些市井里忙碌的人们忍不住想知道他们年轻时的模样、想探问他们的家庭生活：那个用大短刀粗暴地砍着骨头的女人会是《立春》里执著于要到巴黎去唱歌剧的王彩玲吗？那个身穿工商制服守在公平秤旁边的小姑娘会是《站台》里那个热爱跳舞的尹瑞娟吗？那个在摊口挑西红柿的粗糙的阿姨在年轻时是不是也有什么梦想呢，会是《孔雀里》那个拼尽全力也要成为飞行员的姐姐吗？

  生活最终让她们变了模样，集合在这嘈杂的菜市场里讨价还价，她们也终于安静的正常生活着。然而那些挣扎与惆怅的时刻再也难为人知，或许在寂静无人的深夜或者孩子吃上可口的饭菜时能得到一丝慰藉

  ？

  而这，也就是普通人的一生，就是我们的人生了。
