Funds held personally by Officer

“In 2023, officer transferred $10,000 of exempt organization funds into personal account held in Siddhartha Bank Ltd, Nepal. Instead of instant distribution in the form of grants as has happened in the past, the monies were held for interest accrual then the deposit plus earnings were donated to individual students for education in 2024. An FBAR Form 114 was filed for 2023 to report these funds held in the foreign bank account.”
