IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0990 Tax return is reviewed by the Executive Director and accounting
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1department prior to efiling.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The governing documents are maintained by the board of directors and they
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3are made available as needed to conduct the business of the organization.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4ASF recorded activity to reconcile accounting balances that were
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5not reflective when the return was prepared for 2022.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6While A Step to Freedom (ASF) has received federal funds and
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7experienced substantial growth in the past few years, much of our
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt8expansion was driven by pandemic-related local one-time funding
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt9and foundation grants. This, support arose to meet increased
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt10demand during the pandemic, and as ASF scaled its services, the
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt11development of essential infrastructure and internal controls
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt12was prioritized to ensure sustainable, compliant operations.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt13In 2024, ASF expects to have the required systems fully in place
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt14to begin the audit process. This timeline allosw the organization
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt15to complete an effective, thorough audit that reflects a
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt16committment to transparency and accountability. We are currently
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt17focused on establishing the necessary capacity to support a full
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt18audit proces, including stregthening our internal controls,
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt19building our finance team, and implementing appropriate accounting
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt20practices. With these developments underway, we are on track to
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt21conduct our first audit in 2024, setting us up for compliant,
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt22effective financial oversight in the future.
