president Dan Busby is stepping down after more than a decade of failing to hold member organizations accountable. Yet ECFA statement praises Busby for his "amazing legacy" and says he'll continue as president emeritus. SMH
is nothing more than a rubber stamp. Today
did same with cover story, documenting pattern at ECFA of accrediting grossly negligent, or even fraudulent, orgs.

The ECFA is supposed to protect the integrity of evangelical organizations but because of their incompetence has regularly instead shielded corrupt leaders by telling detractors that an organization is financially transparent and accountable when it is not.
Dan Busby must go.
