BOARD OF DIRECTORS BACKGROUND CHECKS

Before appointing an individual to a leadership role, conduct a thorough and compliant board member background check.

Carefully vetting board members, directors, and those with the greatest levels of responsibility within your organization can help you mitigate risk and avoid posing a threat to your customers, volunteers, staff, and reputation at large. You do not want individuals with previous felony and fraud records to be part of a leadership team tasked with handling large funds and important assets, which is exactly why you should consider Reliable’s board of directors vetting services.

Unethical practices by board members or leaders within your organization can have dire consequences, affecting everyone from customers and volunteers to employees and donors, and your brand. Board member background screening helps unearth discrepancies from an individual’s reported history, such as inaccurate education information, which could raise major concerns about a person’s professional character.

If you could have known, you should have known.

When considering the investment to conduct comprehensive background screening for board members it’s important to consider how that investment can potentially outweigh negative consequences that could be more costly if anything was uncovered in the absence of a background check.
