| IRS990ScheduleD/Form990ScheduleDPartXIV/Explanation | 0 | CESI OFFERS DEBT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS TO ASSIST CLIENTS IN PAYING THEIR UNSECURED DEBTS. FUNDS RECEIVED FROM CLIENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE DEBT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ARE DEPOSITED INTO VARIOUS DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS. FUNDS ARE THEN TRANSFERRED FROM THE DEPOSITORY ACCOUNTS INTO A SEPARATE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS ACCOUNT (THE FBO ACCOUNT) ON A DAILY BASIS. FUNDS RESIDING IN THE FBO ACCOUNTS ARE DISBURSED TO CREDITORS AND PORTIONS OF THE FUNDS ARE DISBURSED TO CESI'S OPERATING ACCOUNT AS CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO CESI BY CREDITORS AND/OR CLIENTS. CERTAIN STATES REQUIRE THAT CLIENT FUNDS BE HELD IN A DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT WITHIN THAT STATE UNTIL THE RESPECTIVE CLIENTS CREDITORS ARE PAID. IN THIS SITUATION CREDITORS ARE PAID FROM MONIES FROM THIS STATES DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT. INTEREST INCOME EARNED ON FUNDS HELD IN THE VARIOUS RESTRICTED CASH ACCOUNTS IS USED TO PAY FOR BANK FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES. CESI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EXCESS EXPENSES ARISING FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THESE ACCOUNTS. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/Form990ScheduleDPartXIV/Explanation | 1 | OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) HAS ENGAGED IN AUDITING A LARGE NUMBER OF TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE CREDIT COUNSELING AND DEBT MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC TO DETERMINE IF THEY, IN FACT, QUALIFY FOR TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. IN 2004, CESI WAS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS SELECTED TO BE EXAMINED. AS A RESULT OF THE IRS' EXAMINATION, THE EXAMINING REVENUE AGENT PROPOSED THAT CESI'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE "CODE") BE REVOKED RETROACTIVELY. CESI'S WRITTEN PROTEST CONTESTING THE PROPOSED REVOCATION WAS SUBMITTED ON NOVEMBER 3, 2005. SINCE 2005, CESI HAS SOUGHT TO RESOLVE THIS DISAGREEMENT THROUGH VARIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE CHANNELS, INCLUDING FORMAL APPEALS AND ENLISTING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE OFFICE OF THE IRS NATIONAL TAXPAYER ADVOCATE SERVICE ("TAS"). CESI IS CONTINUING THESE EFFORTS, BUT IRS OFFICIALS RECENTLY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REVOCATION. IF CESI'S ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORTS AND THE EFFORTS OF TAS DO NOT PREVENT THE IRS FROM REVOKING ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, THE IRS HAS INDICATED THAT THE ORGANIZATION CAN RE-APPLY FOR TAX-EXEMPT STATUS AND WILL BE AFFORDED AN EXPEDITED REVIEW. CESI WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF CHALLENGING ANY REVOCATION IN COURT. ANY ULTIMATE REVOCATION OF CESI'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS COULD BE MADE RETROACTIVELY, WITH THE RESULT THAT FOR PRIOR TAX YEARS IN WHICH THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS NOT YET EXPIRED, AND FUTURE TAX YEARS, CESI WOULD BE SUBJECT TO BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX. SUCH TAX LIABILITIES COULD BE SIGNIFICANT AND WOULD LIKELY IMPACT SOME SIGNIFICANT SOURCES OF REVENUE. HOWEVER, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH LIABILITIES (INCLUDING TO WHAT EXTENT, IF ANY, A REVOCATION WOULD BE EFFECTIVE FOR PRIOR TAX YEARS), AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IS AT THIS TIME UNABLE TO MAKE A RELIABLE ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE TOTAL POTENTIAL TAX LIABILITIES MIGHT BE. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS REQUIRE THE RESERVATION FOR A CONTINGENT LIABILITY ONLY IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE LIABILITY APPEARS TO BE PROBABLE. ACCORDINGLY, NO CONTINGENT LIABILITY RESERVE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR ANY POTENTIAL INCOME TAX LIABILITIES THAT MIGHT RESULT IF CESI'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS IS ULTIMATELY REVOKED. |
