Part XI, Line 8 - Prior Period Adjustments El Centro AMISTAD wishes to clarify an adjustment made to its 2023 Form 990. The net assets at the end of the year originally reported on the form were overstated due to an internal accounting allocation error in our bookkeeping software. This misclassification affected the way certain grant funds and internal transfers were recorded but did not reflect an actual change in financial position or available resources. Upon discovery, the error was corrected through an internal reconciliation process and verified by our accounting consultant. The revised figures now accurately represent AMISTADs true financial position as of December 31, 2023. We remain fully committed to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and compliance with all IRS and funder reporting standards.
