The information necessary to prepare the organizations 2015 form 990 tax return was compiled throughout the 2015 calendar year by the JVMI accounting staff and verified by the DOF. This information was presented to the organization's CPA, who prepared a draft 2015 form 990, as well as audited financial statements for review by the organization's DOF. After this, the CPA incorporated any suggested revisions into the 990, and forwarded a copy of the finalized completed form 990 to the DOF, who then reviewed the completed form 990 with the organization's CEO, who then signed the form 990 before submission to the Internal Revenue Service. |
