The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an affidavit is signed to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed with the designated governmental agencies. Before the tax returns are filed, a final tax return copy is forwarded to all Board members. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped with certified return receipt and timely placed in the mail for filing.”

“Leadership ProgramLeadership is a key pillar of CCF's program model. Through CCF's Leadership Program, students are intricately involved in our work on the ground - whether it be in teaching evening classes at our satellite schools, running leadership camps for younger students, organizing the evening food program or vising isolated elderly people in the Steung Meanchey community. These young adults are not only the future of CCF - they are the future leaders of families, of communities and of their country. CCF aims to prepare students for reintegration into Cambodian society and equip them with a high level education and the tools, training and knowledge to make a meaningful, positive impact on their community.An understanding of governance, human right, gender issues, empathy, community building, communication and the key qualities of leadership are essential factors for generational change.
