22. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Internal Control COSO defines internal control as a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel. This process is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Internal control is a process. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Internal control is not merely documented by policy manuals and forms. Rather, it is put in by people at every level of an organization. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, to an entity’s management and board. Internal control is geared to the achievement of objectives in one or more separate but overlapping categories. 22

An audit is a formalized process designed to obtain reasonable assurance that a financial statement(s) is free of any material misstatements whether caused by errors, frauds, and/or direct legal acts with respect to the management assertions embodied in the financial statement(s). 27

35. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Form 990 Why the fuss all of a sudden? In 2008, the Form 990 was completely redesigned by the IRS Last revision 1979 The purpose was to: Increase transparency Good governance Reduced burden (total opposite) Replaced with increased accountability 35

36. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Form 990 It’s not all that bad... The Form 990 is a publicly disclosed document. Provides organizations the opportunity to: Tell the organization’s story by effectively stating its mission and program service accomplishments Market and development tool 36

43. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Question Are there any other IRS filing that a nonprofit must file? 43

44. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Answer Yes, besides the Form 990 or equivalent a nonprofit must still file: Payroll returns Unrelated business income tax return (UBIT) return: Form 990-T 44

45. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org Form 990-T Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return To report unrelated trade or business income. An unrelated trade or business is any trade or business, the conduct of which is not substantially related to the exercise or performance by the organization of its exempt purpose. The fact that an organization needs or uses the profits from a business activity to support its program services has no bearing on the determination of whether the activity is unrelated. 45

46. © 2009 Grants Central Stationwww.GrantsCentralStation.org UBTI Unrelated Business Taxable Income See IRS Publication 598 – “Tax on Unrelated Business Income of Exempt Organizations” There are a lot of exceptions to the rule and is considered to be a fairly “gray” area with a lot of room for interpretation. Be conservative and remember your fiduciary responsibility 46
