| FORM 990, SECTION B: | AS NOTED IN THIS RETURN, THE ORGANIZATION EXPERIENCED A DEVASTATING EMBEZZLEMENT BY ITS CONTROLLER. THE EMBEZZLEMENT INCLUDED A WIDE RANGE OF ACCOUNTING POSTINGS BY THE CONTROLLER THAT WERE DESIGNED TO COVER-UP THESE ACTIVITIES. HENCE, THE BOOKS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017 CONTAINED MANY ERRORS CAUSED BY SUCH FORMER CONTROLLER. AT THE TIME THE ORIGINAL FORM 990 WAS FILED FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE FORENSIC WORK REGARDING THIS MATTER WAS STILL UNDERWAY. THE ORIGINAL FORM 990 WAS FILED USING THE BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE PERFORMED A FORENSIC STUDY AND RE-COMPILATION (CORRECTION) OF THE BOOKS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017. THIS AMENDED FORM 990 IS BEING FILED USING THE CORRECTED BOOKS OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE FORM 4720 INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL FORM 990 HAS BEEN REVISED, AND IS INCLUDED WITH THIS AMENDED FORM 990. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 | JEFFREY HOCHSTER AND LINDA HOCHSTER HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 5 | DURING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT, THE ORGANIZATION DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT DIVERSION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS IN THE FORM OF AN EMBEZZLEMENT BY THE ACCOUNTING CONTROLLER. ONCE DISCOVERED, THE ORGANIZATION HIRED A SEPARATE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM TO CONDUCT A FORENSIC INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE EMBEZZLEMENT AND TO RECOMMEND CORRECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS. THE FINDINGS INDICATED THE EMBEZZLED FUNDS WERE WITHIN THE DATE RANGE OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2011 THROUGH MARCH 26, 2018 AND ARE CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO BE $1,172,957. THE FORENSIC FIRM BELIEVES THAT THE EMBEZZLEMENT ACTIVITY WAS OCCURING FOR PERIODS BEFORE SUCH DATE RANGE AND THAT THE AMOUNT EMBEZZLED EXCEEDS THE AFOREMENTIONED $1,172,957, HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF EMBEZZLED FUNDS PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 1, 2011. THE FUNDS WERE EMBEZZLED IN THE FORM OF FORGED CHECKS, WHICH WERE RECORDED IN THE GENERAL LEDGER AS PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE EMBEZZLEMENT WAS BEING RECORDED AS PAYMENTS TO ANOTHER CHARITY TO DISGUISE THE FORGED CHECKS PAID TO THE CONTROLLER. THE CONTROLLER EMBEZZLED THE FUNDS UNBEKNOWNST TO THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGEMENT. ASIDE FROM FRAUDULENT CHECKS ISSUED TO CONTROLLER'S SPOUSE AND ENDORSED BY THE CONTROLLER, THE CONTROLLER ACTED ALONE IN THE EMBEZZLEMENT ACTIVITIES. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE MATTER INCLUDE (1) IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF CONTROLLER UPON DISCOVERY OF EMBEZZLEMENT, (2) LEGAL ACTION AGAINST CONTROLLER, (3) A FORENSIC ACCOUNTING INVESTIGATION TO IDENTIFY FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND TO RECOMMEND CORRECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS TO PREVENT FUTURE FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY, (4) REVISED SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES THROUGH ADDITIONAL INTERNAL CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION INCLUDING A "POSITIVE PAY" DISBURSEMENT SYSTEM, INCREASED INVOLVEMENT BY TREASURER REGARDING ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN DIRECT OVERSEE OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND RELATED APPROVAL PROCESSES, (5) REPORTING THE ACTIVITY AND PAYMENTS AS EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTIONS WITH THE REQUIRED DISCLOSURES ON FORM 990 PART IV, LINE 25A & 25B, FORM 990 SCHEDULE L, PART I, AND FORM 4720, SCHEDULE I AND (6) CONSULTATION WITH OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO CONSIDER A POTENTIAL RECOVERY OF SOME OR ALL OF THE EMBEZZLED AMOUNTS FROM THE ACCOUNTING FIRM THAT PERFORMED THE PREVIOUS FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITS. IN ADDITION, THE MATTER WAS REFERRED TO THE FORT WORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY TURNED OVER TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION. AS A RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION, MS. LAURIE REESE WAS INDICTED, PLEAD GUILTY AND SENTENCED TO 36 MONTHS IN FEDERAL PRISON. |
