The Valley Current®: How to Handle IRS Audits of Nonprofit Entities

The IRS may be auditing fewer nonprofits, but when it chooses a target, the odds are increasingly stacked in its favor. With data models now driving much of the selection process, an innocent-looking Form 990 can become a roadmap to an organization's weakest points. In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines what lawyers, founders, executives, and nonprofit boards need to know before an audit letter ever arrives. Jack explores how compensation decisions, donor receipts, board minutes, and even missed filing deadlines can create years of hidden exposure. More importantly, what happens when a routine civil audit stops being routine? An examiner who uncovers signs of fraud can quietly refer the case for criminal investigation without warning the organization. When the IRS comes knocking, your best defense may be the record you built years before.
