New Form 990: Public Relations Opportunity or Trap for the Unwary?

Because most charity Forms 990 are instantly available on the Internet, they can be a charity’s most important public relations document. They can also be traps for the unwary that lead to confusion, serious adverse publicity, and governmental sanctions. This session will view the new Form 990 from the perspectives of a donor and a regulator and discuss best practices for using the Form as a tool to provide transparency on a charity’s operations. CPE credits are available for select locations as noted.
