Audit related to the operations of the Organization for the period from April 1, 2013 to. We have also reviewed the Organization's books and records related to the loan granted in 2011. The table below shows the amounts of loans receivable reported on the Organization's balance sheet.
During the various transactions related to the loan, we did not obtain documentation on the means by which the Organization ensured repayment of the loan. To date, no capital has been repaid from the loan granted by the Organization.
Failure to be constituted for exclusively charitable purposes
Furthermore, if we consider it a loan, it is a non-qualifying investment and the Organization no longer has the funds to meet its disbursement quota (DQ). For purposes of the Act, when a registered charity simply transfers its resources to another entity (assuming that the entity is a non-qualified beneficiary) and fails to maintain. Under section 149.1 (1) of the Act, a charitable foundation must be established and operated exclusively for charitable purposes.
The recovery of this loan is uncertain and the Organization has not made sufficient efforts to recover the money. To be exclusively charitable under the law, a cause must fall within one or more of four charitable categories and provide a general charitable benefit. Relating the foregoing principles to the Organization, we believe that objectives (a) through (c) are both broad and vague.
In addition, and of equal importance, we believe that the items do not reveal that the organization's principal activity is to make donations to registered charities. Accordingly, it is our position that the organization has failed to comply with the requirements of subsection 149.1(1) of the Act, namely that it must be incorporated solely for charitable purposes. For this and each of these reasons, it appears that there may be grounds for withdrawal.
Failure to issue official receipts of donation in accordance with the law. The law sets several requirements regarding the issuance of official donations.
Failure to issue Official Donation Receipts in accordance with the Act The Act provides various requirements with respect to the issuing of official donation
Failure to issue donation receipts in accordance with the Regulation 3501 The audit revealed that the donation receipts issued by the Organization did not comply

13 - . filing requirements when it fails to exercise due care to ensure its accuracy. It is the charity's responsibility to ensure that the information provided in its returns, schedules and declarations is factual and complete in all respects. The audit revealed that the organization had improperly completed the T30 l 0, Regislered Charity In.formation Return, with many of the items reported being incorrectly identified or omitted.
The T30 lO must be signed by a person authorized to sign on behalf of the organization, normally a director. For the years 2011 to 2018, the Organization has not indicated the start of the mandate for the three directors. For the years 2014 and 2015, the Organization has indicated the loan receivable on line 4120, Amounts receivable from all others, of the T3010 return.
This amount must be shown on line 4110 Receivables from non-arm's-length persons, as the loan was granted to a related person. Pursuant to the Act's section t 68, subsection 1(c), the Minister may, by registered letter, give notice to the charity that the Minister proposes to revoke its registration because the charity fails to submit a registered charity information as and when required. according to the law or a regulation. For this reason, there may be grounds for revocation of the organisation's charitable status.
Failure to maintain adequate books and records
No loan agreement and written request for loan repayment between the borrower and the Organization
On March 30, 2011, the Organization accepted a borrower change regarding the tea the borrower of the amount will be. For each of the transactions listed above, the Organization does not have a loan agreement with the borrower. The organization has not acted prudently with due diligence by not requiring the repayment terms, interest rate and term of the loan to be included in a written loan agreement.
The CRA cannot evaluate that the measures taken by the Organization to recover the amount are sufficient and that the Organization acted with prudence to recover the amount representing a large part of its assets.
