A DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS From 'Creating-Value-in-the-Nonprofit-Sector.pdf' on page 18 Copy of PDF: http://www.truevaluemetrics.org/DBpdfs/Philanthropy/Course-15-Creating-Value-in-the-Nonprofit-Sector.pdf Peter Burgess COMMENTARY This got my attention in part because it reminded me of how financial accountancy became and important part of the regulatory framework in the modern world. While money and accounting have been used for many hundreds of years, the rapid changes brought on by the industrial revolution opened opportunities for both beneficial progress and fraud. Law makers saw fit to mandate that entrepreneurs seeking to raise money for their enterprise should not be allowed to lie, and accordingly must keep financial books of account and report to investors or potential investors that their financial respresentations are 'in accordance with the books of account of the company'. This put accountancy at the center of finance in the late 1800s, and it remains central to this day. My goal is to encourage a similar system of accounting to be applied to everything to do with society (people) and the environment (nature). The framework that works for the money economic system can be applied as powerfully for society and the environment and ... as with financing in the 1800s, companies and other big actors should not be allowed to lie about their social and environmental progress and performance.
