Participate in the NFP Risk Survey - Great prizes to be won

I received this email recently and I hope you are able to help out this charity.  You may win yourself some great prizes while doing so.

A local charity was collecting gifts for underprivileged children for Christmas. They worked very hard and collected a number of gifts from people in the community. A member of the public donated a small electric toy of the more "economical" variety that, unfortunately, must have bypassed safety testing on the way into the country. While in storage it caught fire and burned down all the donated gifts AND the offices of the charity concerned. I wonder if this was a type of risk that any of the devastated staff at the charity have even considered?

The management of risk plays an enormous role in the success of your organisation. It is with this in mind, I'd like to invite you to participate in the 2010 Not-for-Profit Risk Survey. The survey is being undertaken to gain an understanding of the risks facing not-for-profit organisations from around the world. The results will be used to make nonprofit organisations more aware of the key risks that could impact on the success of their organisation. As a participant you will be one of the first to recieve a copy of the final report on its release.

The survey is designed to be simple to complete and should not take more than 15 minutes. If you wish, you can choose to remain anonymous but if you complete the survey by 10 April and provide your details, you will go into the draw to win one your choice of four fabulous prizes ...

64GB Apple iPod Touch valued at approx $540;

Playstation 3 Console (Slim) 120GB valued at approx $465;

Dell S561207AU Inspiron Mini 10” Netbook valued at approx $490; or

Olympus Tough 8000 Black 12 MP Digital Camera valued at approx $475.

All participants who provide their contact details will receive a copy of the survey findings. I would really appreciate it if you also could forward this along to others in the sector from around the world to help us to create the most comprehensive resource possible.

The survey will be authored by Lisa Bundesen, a PPB Partner and one of Australia's foremost experts in risk management and fraud control in the Not-for-Profit sector along with Andrew Morgan, a PPB Director with considerable experience in the identification and management of risk in business.

The deadline for participation is Friday 10 April 2010 to complete the survey. If you have technical difficulties or would like any clarification on questions, please contact Andrew Morgan of PPB at amorgan@ppb.com.au
