Dear Ms. Long,
According to the following article, you provided Mendocino County
Public Broadcasting (KZYX) with an opinion on their Form 990s:
http://www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/lifestyle/20150714/story-of-kzyx
The opinion appears to be based on the fact that you're a non-profit
accountant. So I found an advertisement for a business under your
name here:
http://creation-designs.com/gracemillennium/directory/html/legal.htm
According to the advertisement, you're a "* Licensed Tax Preparer *"
with a business in Willits. So I looked your name up at the IRS
directory for licensed tax preparers here:
http://irs.treasury.gov/rpo/rpo.jsf
I couldn't find anything under your name within 100 miles of Willits.
So I looked your name up at the State Board of Accountancy here:
http://www2.dca.ca.gov<http://www2.dca.ca.gov>
This time I couldn't find anything under your name within the entire
State. I did manage to find six non-profits that you filed Form 990s
for. They include:
* Art of the Matter Performance Foundation / Net Assets + $12,090
* Billy Foundation / Net Assets + $53,452
* Digital Clubhouse Network / Net Assets - ($5,768)
* Earthmind / Net Assets + $58,860
* Ecoventure / Net Assets - ($1,326)
* Mixed Bag Productions / Net Assets + $14,459
Would you mind showing me any license under which you prepared these
Form 990s? Also, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at the
Form 990s for MCPB / KZYX here:
http://nccsweb.urban.org/communityplatform/nccs/organization/profile/id/680050440/popup/1
As you'll notice in Schedule O for the past five years, there's a
policy in place that 'No review (of the Form 990) was or will be
conducted (by the organization)'. I saw no such policy on any of the
other Form 990s you've filed. What could be the reason for a policy
like that? And finally, on page 12, Part XII. Where each of those
Form 990s reports that no audited financial statements had been
reviewed or compiled by an independent accountant. Then please look
at this:
http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/about-us/station-business/mcpb-bylaws-and-financial-statements
As you can see, MCPB/KZYX has published documents on its website that
appear to be audited financial statements. From the facts I've gathered
and your published opinion, I can draw the following conclusions;
(1) You're accustomed to Form 990s being prepared for non-profit clients
without any State or Federal tax preparation license, and;
(2) You're accustomed to Form 990s being kept away from from non-profit
organizations, and;
(3) You're accustomed to conflicting information being presented
about the existence of audited financial statements for non-profit
clients.
If I'm mistaken about any of these conclusions, please show me how and
I'll gladly stand corrected.
Thanks for your prompt attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Scott M. Peterson
Mendocino
