Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“A certified public accounting firm provides bookkeeping services to our organizationthroughout the year and provides day-to-day assistance with all aspect of tax andaccounting. The treasurer provides her comments on the draft financial statements and on the report on the contributors that the accountants provide. They also discuss the adjustments that are necessary for the books to beprepared in accordance to generally accepted accounting principles in the us. Once the organization's management approves the year-end financial statements, the cpa firm prepares the tax returns and the related schedulesunder the supervision of the treasurer. For the 2021 tax returns, the treasurer,a board member and the accountant discussed the 2021 activity, as well as theactivity for the current year and the perspective for future years. Thetreasurer and a board member sent a copy of the draft tax returns to the other boardmember for review and comments before filing. The board member's comments areaddressed and reflected on the tax returns as appropriate.”

IRS990/Desc0DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2021, THE CITYLIGHTS COMMUNITY WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ITS OPERATION DURING THE PANDEMIC AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS BY USING ONLINE ZOOM MEETINGS. THE WEEKLY ZOOM MEETINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE ENABLED A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE MEETINGS DUE TO THE NATURE OF ONLINE MEETINGS BEING ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE REGARDLESS OF LOCATION. THESE WERE USUALLY THE PEOPLE WHO USED TO ATTEND OR HAVE VISITED CITYLIGHTS MEETINGS IN THE PAST BUT NOW LIVE ALL AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE STILL WERE NOT ABLE TO HAVE THE ANNUAL RETREAT. FOR NEXT YEAR WE PLAN TO BRING THE WEEKLY MEETINGS BACK IN PERSON AND PLAN THE ANNUAL RETREAT.
