“The 990 is prepared by outside CPAs with information prepared by the organizations internal accountants. The internal accountants review a draft of the 990 and give comments back to the CPAs. The draft 990 is then forwarded to the Executive Director, the Director of Operations/Development, the Treasurer and other key board members who then review the return in detail and provide comments back to the CPAs. At that point the 990 is finalized and filed.”
