The NAC is comprised of individuals from the not-for-profit sector, including users of not-for-profit financial reports, preparers, practitioners, and those with a background in academia. Its members bring a wide spectrum of expertise and interests in both large and small organizations and in the various areas of the not-for-profit sector—higher education, healthcare, religious, cultural, social services, and other.
