The audit concerned the activities of the Organization for the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Registered charities must comply with the law, failing which the Organization's registered status may be revoked in the manner described in article 168 of the Act. This is a failure on the part of the Organization's board of directors and its officers.
For this reason alone there may be grounds to withdraw the Organization's registered status under paragraph 168(1)(e) of the Act. The aims of the Organization are not clear to the directors and the aims which stuck were not exclusively charitable. As above, the Organization did not substantiate its business activities with books and records that could be considered appropriate under subsection 230(2) of the Act.
The organization reported that it has one employee who performs a large part of the work associated with its activities. The asset is simply a by-product of the charity programs (services taken, products sold produced in the course of carrying out a charity program). The audit revealed that the organization's assets (resources) had been made available for the personal benefit of a director of the organization.
Subsection 149.1(1) of the Act requires an organization's assets to be spent on charitable activities.
Failure to issue donation receipts in accordance with the Act
Pursuant to Article 168(1)(b) of the Act, the Minister may notify a registered charity by registered mail that he proposes to cancel its registration if it uses its funds for non-charitable activities. Under subsection 188.1 (7) of the Act, a registered charity is liable to a penalty of 5% of the amount shown on the certificate if the certificate contains false information. The penalty is increased to 10% of the amount for repeated or repeated violations under sub-section of the Act.
Finally, a registered charity may be subject to a suspension of tax-receiving privileges under paragraph (c) of the Act if the penalties in subsection 188.1 (9) apply and the total amount of all such penalties for the tax year exceeds. Due to the seriousness of the non-compliance identified in our audit, we are not proposing these sanctions at this time. Pursuant to Article 168(1)(d) of the Act, the Minister may notify a registered charity by registered mail that he proposes to cancel its registration if it issues a certificate otherwise than in accordance with the Act and its regulations. .
For each of the reasons set out above, it appears to us that there may be grounds for withdrawal of the Organization's charitable status under section 168(1)(d) of the Act. In that case, the Director General of the Charities Directorate may give notice of his intention to withdraw the registration of the Organization by issuing a Letter of Intent in the manner described in Article 168(1) of the Act. b) Response.

Subsections (1) and (1.1) do not apply to a charity in relation to a notice of intention to withdraw given under any of subsections 149.1(2) to (4.1) and 168(1) if the Minister abandons the intention and the charity reports this or something. (a) within the one-year period beginning immediately after the tax year of the charity otherwise deemed to have ended in subsection (1), the Minister has registered the charity as a charity, private foundation or public foundation; And.
