Moneyquote: “Dan Busby, an accountant and acting president of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, looked at AFM’s 2006 tax documents and noted the compensation and loans. His group emphasizes the importance of financial accountability, transparency and sound board governance at Christian nonprofit organizations. `For a nonprofit that emphasizes helping the poor to take $2.5 million in executive and family compensation that is 12.5 percent of (that year’s spending) for what appears to be insider salaries-and to loan $700,000 to insiders in the same year-is extraordinary,’ Busby said.”
