| IRS990ScheduleD/Form990ScheduleDPartXIII/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 CLIENT'S CREDITORS ARE PAID. IN THIS SITUATION CREDITORS ARE PAID FROM MONIES FROM THIS STATE'S 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/Form990ScheduleDPartXIII/Explanation | 1 | SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013, CESI AND THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ENTERED INTO A CLOSING AGREEMENT IN WHICH A SETTLEMENT ARRANGEMENT WAS REACHED BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. AS A RESULT, CESI RETAINS ITS 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, AND THE INITIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION WAS RESOLVED. NO FURTHER ACTION DEEMED NECESSARY. THE FOLLOWING TAX POSITION WAS TAKEN FROM THE JUNE 30, 2013, YEAR-END AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: 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 "IRC") BE REVOKED RETROACTIVELY. CESI'S WRITTEN PROTEST CONTESTING THE PROPOSED REVOCATION WAS SUBMITTED ON NOVEMBER 3, 2005. AS OF AUGUST 21, 2013, THE IRS HAD NOT ISSUED A FINAL DETERMINATION REVOKING ITS PRIOR RECOGNITION OF CESI'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THEREFORE, CESI CONTINUES TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS AN ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) AND AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER THE IRC SECTION 509(A)(2). CESI IS ALSO REQUIRED TO CONTINUE FILING THE ANNUAL FORM 990 WITH THE IRS. CESI'S LEGAL COUNSEL IS CURRENTLY IN ACTIVE SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS WITH THE IRS, UNDER WHICH THE IRS WOULD CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE CESI AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION FOR ALL PERIODS SINCE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE INITIAL DETERMINATION LETTER ISSUED BY THE IRS ON JANUARY 14, 1999. IF A SETTLEMENT IS REACHED, THEN IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A SETTLEMENT PAYMENT COULD BE REQUIRED TO BE MADE BY CESI IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. IF A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS NOT REACHED, AND A FINAL REVOCATION OF TAX-EXEMPT STATUS WERE TO OCCUR, THEN IT COULD RESULT IN FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX LIABILITIES THAT WOULD BE DUE FROM CESI. HOWEVER, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF ANY POTENTIAL LIABILITIES (INCLUDING TO WHAT EXTENT), AND CONSEQUENTLY, IS AT THIS TIME UNABLE TO MAKE A RELIABLE ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE TOTAL POTENTIAL 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. |
