3 Identifying Violations of the Law Solicitation issues Governance Asset management Using the IRS Form 990 to Find Violations of State Law Multi-State Enforcement Actions
4 Charities cases can be developed from a wide variety of sources
5 Insiders often refer or report matters: Present or former board members or officers Stakeholders or consumers of the charity s programs services Employee Whistleblowers
6 anonymous complaints (These needed to be taken with a grain of salt but some are meritorious) consumer complaints about solicitation (It s a good practice to have a complaint form on your website it generates cases)

19 Monitoring of the FTC s charity2 listserve for State charity regulators can alert you to problems with charities or solicitors in other states. Those charities or solicitors are likely active in your state too. The listserve also generates multistate enforcement activity

29 The charity s own documents can often be used against them. Examples include: Registration statements IRS Form 990 Websites Recorded Calls ouncil%202_2_09%20(edit).mp3 Telemarketing Scripts
30 The charity s own documents can often be used against them. Examples include: Direct Mail Financial Statements CPA s Management Letter CPA Communications under SAS 112 and 115
31 Using an Organization s Documents: CPA s Management Letter Auditors have traditionally provided their clients with a management letter at the end of the audit which points out internal control problems, issues, and weaknesses that the auditor has detected during the course of an audit This letter is written to management and the board and is not considered a public document
32 Using an Organization s Documents: CPA s Management Letter In the past, the letter was largely voluntarily and could be communicated orally or in writing Beginning with 2006 (applicable to years on or after December 15, 2006), the letter was formalized and is now part of the audit process. Certain aspects of it are no longer voluntary
33 SAS 112 and 115: Three Aspects Mandatory SAS Nos. 112 and 115 deal with communicating internal control related matters identified in an audit SAS N issued in Turned out to be overly complex in its definitions. SAS No. 115 issued in 2008 (applicable to years ending on or after December 15, 2009). It keeps much of SAS No. 112, but simplifies the definitions Must be provided within 60 days after issuance of the auditor s opinion Mandatory SAS No. 114 deals with the auditors communications with those charged with governance Voluntary SAS Nos 112 and 115 permit the auditor to discuss Voluntary Nos. other issues in the letter, but do not require further discussion Charity regulators and investigators should be interested in these two required communications (which are often combined as one letter)
34 SAS 112 and 115: Three Aspects Auditors must disclose deficiencies in internal controls that they encounter during the audit which are either Material weaknesses Significant deficiencies Critical point: In the NPO world, the auditing standards do not require the auditor to look for or find control deficiencies as an end in and of itself But in the course of performing the audit, the auditor is required to examine, test, and document internal controls as necessary in the auditor s professional judgment to permit the auditor to identify and address audit risk and satisfy the auditing standards. So the auditor inevitably will find internal control issues; perhaps minor, or conceivably major
35 The Management Letter The auditor must provide a letter identifying significant weaknesses and material deficiencies detected during the audit process The auditor: Can provide a letter indicating that no material weaknesses came to the auditor s attention if there were no material weaknesses identified Cannot provide a letter indicating that no significant deficiencies were uncovered even if none were uncovered. As the audit process is not designed to look for this, it is possible that significant deficiencies do exist
36 Internal Document: Board Minutes Minutes should: List who attended, the date and time of the meeting Describe the actions taken at each meeting and votes for and against them and major thread of discussion Describe committee reports to the board. Describe other business List all conficts discussed.
37 Internal Document: Board Minutes Minutes As a Tool: Prepare: A table of the attendance record of each director A table of employees who attended each meeting A List who attended, the date and time of the meeting A chronological list of financial decisions considered A list of new programs and services Describe the actions taken at each meeting and votes for and against them and major thread of discussion Describe committee reports to the board. Describe other business List all conflicts discussed.
38 Internal Document: Board Minutes No or poorly maintained minutes have informational value: Assess whether the Board is dysfunctional and if so, how Make inquiries of employees about their perception of the board and management Look for overrides of controls Look for violations of conflicts of interest policy
39 There are a number of documents prepared by or filed by an organization that can be very useful in build a case
40 No body is related.
41 Not married but same names??
42 Registration Data Can Develop Cases 1 DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 2 STATE OF HAWAII 3 IN RE INVESTIGATION OF: ) AG Subpoena No. ) Animal CARE Foundation ) ) 5 ) ) 6 ) EXAMINATION UNDER OATH OF SABINA DE GIACOMO 13 Taken on behalf of the Attorney General's Office at 14 the offices of Department of the Attorney General, Queen Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, commencing at 9:57 16 a.m. on May 29, 2009, pursuant to Notice
43 19 Q. Do you reside with Frank De Giacomo? 20 A. He lives in the house. 21 Q. Are you married to him? 22 A. It's somebody's definition. Legally the 23 paperwork has not been changed to a divorce. 24 Q. So you obtained a wedding license? 25 A. Yes.
44 13 Q. Did either of you petition the court for a 14 legal separation? 15 A. Not on paper. 16 Q. Okay. So then you're not legally separated. 17 A. Okay. 18 Q. You are currently married. If neither of you 19 has petitioned or received a separation from the 20 court, you remain legally married. 21 A. Okay.
45 No Management expenses?
46 It turns out that the Animal Care Foundation did not properly allocate its expenses among programs services, management and fundraising The Foundation failed to list its officers and directors on its Form 990 The Foundation failed to report the sale of inventory (pet food, medicine, supplies)
47 Private Foundation returns are filed with the Attorney General of Each State in which the Private Foundation is domiciled, registered or created. Treasury Reg. Sec (c)
48 Note the zeros and the handwriting. Suspicious? Nothing entered on most lines Red Flag
49 Note that the president took a whopping tax deduction and then lived tax free on the Foundation dime
50 Did the Foundation Managers Take Compensation? But so underpaid.
51 I m Sure the Supporting Schedules Explain Everything! In this case, Who lived the $35,000 here in occupancy expenses were for a luxury and condominium traveled? in the Ilikai Hotel for the President of the organization. Note the travel expenses too.
52 Pick a good poster child case. Badge Fraud Veterans Groups Disabled and Terminally ill Children, etc. Good publicity generates new referrals and complaints when the public at large becomes educated about the AG s role
