During the filing period, we experienced turnover in key leadership roles and delays in receiving necessary financial information from outside sources, which prevented us from finalizing the return by the deadline. As soon as we became aware of the delay, we took immediate steps to complete and file the return as quickly as possible. We have since implemented new internal procedures - including earlier document collection and additional filing reminders - to ensure all future filings are completed on time. The organization's failure to file on time was not due to willful neglect, and we respectfully request that any related penalties be waived.
