Reporting at Accountable Now helps Members commit to transparency, learning, and continuous improvement. Through internal reflection, Members share their practices and receive thoughtful feedback on how they can better deliver on their promises to the people they serve. Accountable Now offers a range of Reporting options for Members to reflect, learn, and grow with us.
Scrubs are deep dives into a thematic area of an organization's operations, polices, or practices. The Accountable Now team conducts these Scrubs for our full Members, reviewing publicly available documents, as well as additional documents organizations submitted. Reviewing these documents against global metrics, organizations are able to learn where they excel, and where they may fall short. More than that though, each Scrub also has personalized recommendations for how the organization can strengthen their accountability practices.
Previous Scrubs include:
→ Board and Governance Policies
→ Public Accountability and Information Transparency
