“Maximum accessible housing - west (the organization) is part of a group of related not-for-profit (nfp) entities. The organization employs all staff members and incurs the payroll costs. These costs are then allocated to the other related nfp entities based on the proportion of time employees spend working for each entity. This allocation ensures that each entity is charged accurately for the payroll expenses incurred on its behalf. Unfortunately, the form 990 instructions make it impossible to accurately reflect the organizations staffing expenses. The payroll costs of steve hansler, president, which are listed in part vii are allocated in an identical manner to all other employees. However, since the w-2 is from maximum accessible housing-west, part vii, column d, shows all of hansler's pay, not just the proportion for this organization. Similarly, the breakdown of salaries and wages for the organization as shown in part ix, lines 5 and 7 are not accurate. The 990 instructions requires that all of hansler's compensation get listed on line 5. Then line 7 shows the remainder of the total cost of salaries and wages allocated to the organization. If we were able to list it accurately to reflect actual allocations, lines 5 and 7 would be as follows: total expense program service mgmt and general line 5 35,879 17,789 18,090 line 7 126,078 62,510 63,568”

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. There have been no changes in this process in the tax year.”
