While neither the approval of the Form 990 or a review of the Form 990 is required under federal law, the corporation's Form 990 shall be submitted to each member of the board of directors via hardcopy or email at least 10 days before its filing.”

“Club Libertad Justicia y Ley's board of directors adopted and periodically reviewed the conflict of interest policy during the regular board meetings to protect the organization's interest, ensuring no transactions or arrangements benefited any director, officer, employee, affiliate, or member of a committee with board-delegated powers.”

“Even though Club Libertad Justicia y Ley is aware of the process for determining, reviewing, and approving compensation of officers and key employees, no member (officers or volunteers) of this organization receives any monetary compensation.”

“Club Libertad Justicia y Ley made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public and members via its official website and email upon request. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy were also available to the public through the California Department of Justice Registry Verification Search Website, RTC.DOJ.CA.GOV.”

“In 2023, the organization's Clothes Distribution program was not active. The organization did not receive any clothing donations or made any clothing distributions.”

“Explanation of Negative Amount in Part XI, Line 9: Other changes in net assets or fund balances During the preparation of our Form 990 for the tax year ending 2023, it was discovered that there was a discrepancy in the calculation of our net assets pertaining to donated food inventory carried over from the previous tax year, 2022. The negative amount reported in Part XI, Line 9 reflects the correction made to rectify this error. The donated food inventory from 2022 was inadvertently included as an asset, although it had already been donated during that tax year. Upon review, it was determined that this inclusion inflated our reported assets for the tax year 2022. To accurately reflect our organization's financial position for the tax year 2023, we have adjusted the net assets by removing the erroneously included donated food inventory from the calculation. The corrected total assets for 2023 are accurately reported in this Form 990 and reflect the current asset/capital stock/balance funds held by the organization. We have taken steps to ensure that such errors are prevented in future financial reporting periods by implementing enhanced review processes and internal controls. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further clarification or documentation regarding this matter.”
