The organization's board of trustees has delegated to the university's audit committee the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process for the university and its affiliate. As part of the tax return preparation process, the university and this organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in both education and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the university's finance personnel including the vice president of finance and business and controller ("internal working group") to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the university's internal working group for review. The university's internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the university's internal working group for final review and approval. Following the finalization of the review and approval of the form 990 by the internal working group, the university's audit committee performed a detailed review which was presented and discussed at a special meeting held on may 10, 2023. In conjunction with the audit committee meeting wherein the form 990 was presented and discussed, the form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body and approved for filing with the internal revenue service.”
