When the new board assumed their roles, the prior board failed to release critical financial and organizational records necessary for the preparation and filing of the 990. This created a significant administrative barrier and required the new board to take extraordinary measures to gain access to these documents. To resolve the issue, the new board initiated multiple efforts, including direct communication with the previous board and working closely with the bank, accountants, and other relevant entities to reconstruct the financial history. These efforts, while effective, were time-consuming and caused unavoidable delays in the preparation and submission of the 990. The new board is now implementing stronger transition protocols to ensure the seamless transfer of information and compliance with all regulatory requirements in the future.
