“The organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body (its board of directors) prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). In addition, the organization's audit committee assumed the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process. As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional certified public accounting ("cpa") firm with experience and expertise in not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with various individuals ("internal working group"), to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's internal working group for review. The organization's internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's internal working group for final review and approval. Following that review the draft federal form 990 was provided to the audit committee and then the federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to the filing with the irs.”
