As a result, the Executive Director reduced her hours while continuing to manage the organization's operations and lead efforts to restructure its programs and develop a sustainable path forward, under the oversight of the Board of Directors. During preparation of the return, historical accounting discrepancies had to be investigated and corrected so the organization could file a complete and accurate return. The delay was not due to willful neglect, and the return was filed promptly once the financial review and necessary corrections were completed.
