“The organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body, its board of directors, prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's chief financial officer and finance personnel ("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 organization's internal working group for review. The organization'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 organization's internal working group for final review and approval prior to providing a copy to each member of the organization's board of directors prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization's financial audit is currently underway and has not yet been finalized. As a result, the financial information presented in this form 990 is based on unaudited figures, as the audit report was not issued at the time of filing. Once the audit is complete and the financial statements are finalized, the form 990 will be amended to reflect the audited numbers.”
