This variance represents a prior - period adjustment to correct historical bookkeeping transaction tracking and cash reconciliation discrepancies inherited from previous volunteer booster club administrations. The final ending fund balance perfectly reflects the organizations verified cash position at the fiscal year-end., $3682| Our booster club is writing to kindly request that you waive any late-filing penalties for our 2024 Form 990-EZ. We are an entirely volunteer-run group of parents who dedicate our spare time to supporting our local high school choir students and we faced a perfect storm of hurdles over these past few years that were completely out of our control. When our previous board turned over duties at the start of the term things moved way too quickly. Our incoming volunteer Treasurer did not receive a proper transition. Overwhelmed by the books and understandably intimidated she kept quiet about the growing backlog instead of speaking up. In a sincere effort to get things right our board reached out to an outside CPA to help us manage our financials and prepare our taxes. We handed over a significant portion of our physical receipts and paperwork to her. Unfortunately communication completely broke down. The professional went missing in action and stopped responding to our outreach leaving our core financial records temporarily out of our reach. To further complicate our recovery efforts we recently uncovered evidence in this current school year that our now former treasurer had been misappropriating and stealing funds from the club. We now realize that the severe backlog and the withholding of financial information were intentional efforts to conceal this theft. The moment the rest of our leadership team realized the gravity of the situation we jumped into action to fix it: Manual Compilation of Financials: To bypass the breakdown in communication and lack of records I have personally taken our cash-basis financial report and poured through tons of individual manual club records to piece together and accurately draft this Form 990-EZ myself. We rewrote our bylaws: To make sure no volunteer ever feels this overwhelmed or isolated again and to prevent future fraud we completely overhauled and formalized our booster club bylaws this spring. We built in strict new financial safeguards triple-signatory requirements clear hand off protocols and internal checkpoints to protect our funds and our parents. We are getting caught up right now: My term as Board President wraps up at the end of this month. My absolute highest priority before I step down is to straighten out this knot get us into full compliance and make sure we dont leave the incoming parent board - and most importantly our students- with a chaotic financial mess. We acted in good faith every step of the way manually sorted through our files as fast as humanly possible and are filing this return the second the data is clean. Because we did everything in our power to take accountability discover the truth and fix an unexpected hardship we hope you will grant us some grace and waive these late fees. Thank you so much for your time and understanding.
