| Explanation | Catalytic Communities contracted with a firm who handled all financial tracking and returns. In June 2024 Catalytic Communities leadership found that this firm was tracking income and expenses inaccurately and making financial decisions without approval. In rebuilding the organization's financial data, the deadline for the 2024 return passed. As soon as possible, Catalytic Communities contracted with another accounting firm to update and verify the financial records. This process lasted into May 2026. We are now on track to maintain all accounts and file on time from now on. | ExplanationTxt |
