Performance Measurement in Non-Profit Organizations: The Road to Integrated Reporting is a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and opportunities associated with measuring the performance of nonprofit organizations. It aims to establish a framework of practical metrics that can aid in understanding, managing, and enhancing the effectiveness of these organizations by employing systems theory to examine their underlying conditions and manifestations of life.

According to the proposed company model, a comprehensive system of performance measures should be designed to oversee four key transformations: productive, physical-technical, economic, and financial. Each transformation should be monitored using specific efficiency indicators, taking into account the degree of satisfaction of the expectations of the primary stakeholders.

It is crucial to recognize that economic analysis alone is insufficient to evaluate the performance of nonprofit organizations. Therefore, a holistic approach is necessary, integrating economic analysis with the examination of sustainability dimensions. This can be achieved by developing an integrated report that combines the economic and financial dimensions with the pillars of sustainability, similar to the practices followed by companies in the second sector.

Addressing this gap in the literature is the primary objective of this book, making it a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and advanced students interested in performance evaluation of NPOs. By providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective, it contributes to the advancement of knowledge and practice in the field of nonprofit management and governance.
