Nonprofit Service Delivery for Government : Accountability Relationships and Mechanisms

Project dates: 01/01/2015 - 21/11/2015

When government purchases social services under contract from a nonprofit organisation, a clear accountability relationship is created. The NPO must give an account for the use of the funds and achievement of outcomes to the funder. This paper explores how accountability is enacted in two different types of funding relationships in Queensland. Support is found for the argument that different relationships have different approaches to accountability.
