ABSTRACT This exploratory study presents evidence on the general characteristics, risks, and controls of all non-profit organizations (NPOs) reporting a fraud (asset diversion) between 2009 and 2015. Compared to NPOs that did not report a fraud, the fraud-reporting NPOs were larger, older, more likely to be a 501c3, and urban. Data from the Form 990 provided information on the risks and controls present. Risks were positively associated with higher levels of reported fraud for all sizes of NPOs. However, controls were more often related to lower levels of fraud only for larger NPOs, with the level of controls present increasing with the size of the organization. We also identify new variables that should add to our understanding and also variables used in prior studies that may not have enough variance to add any insight. Based on the results from this study, we provide suggestions for future research. Data Availability: Form 990 data were purchased from and are available from GuideStar. Rural and urban codes were purchased from and are available from GreatData.

An authentic leader applies positive morality and has the highmorality and value behaviors and languages be the paradigm. It is considered in this study that a non-profit organization could effectively affect the first-line administrators and organizational volunteers, through a leader’s authentic leadership style, transform the degree of psychological capital and knowledge sharing intention and further enhance the operating performance of the non-profit organization. The leaders and administrators in China Association for NGO Cooperation, as the research samples, are distributed the questionnaires, and 428 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 71%. The research results are summarized as following. 1. Authentic leadership shows significant correlations with psychological capital. 2. Psychological capital reveals remarkable correlations with knowledge sharing. 3. Authentic leadership presents notable correlations with knowledge sharing. 4. Psychological capital appears mediating effects on the relation between authentic leadership and knowledge sharing. This study intends to discuss whether authentic leaders in non-profit organizations could enhance the employees willing to actively share knowledge through psychological capital, provide reference opinions for the practical operation of non-profit organizations, and propose suggestions for possible directions.

Our exploratorywork found that higher ranked universities had strategy statement that emphasizedfaculty. Findings highlight the importance of a clearly articulated strategyemphasizing faculty for university ranking on the sample of 203 business schools.We provide evidence that the most successful universities are likely to proactivelyuse and manage strategy statements for attaining higher rankings and attracting morestudents.
