From the Paper:

"Protecting the company against being financially misused is also something that is seen as being very significant, since there are some nonprofit workers that will try to use and abuse the organization that they work with for their own personal gain (Goehner, 1999). There are individuals like this all over the world, and nonprofit organisations must safeguard themselves against it as much as possible. Many think that it cannot happen to them, but it can, and does (Goehner, 1999). There are several steps that can be taken, however, to protect a nonprofit organization, and the below steps come from Goehner."
