Standard 10: Ending Net Assets - Avoid accumulating funds that could be used for current program activities. To meet this standard, the charity's unrestricted net assets available for use should not be more than three times the size of the past year's expenses or three times the size of the current year's budget, whichever is higher.
British American Foundation of Texas does not meet this Standard because:
- According to the IRS Form 990 for the year ended December 31, 2010, total unrestricted net assets are more than 3 times total expenses.
Standard 11: Financial Statements - Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $250,000, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $100,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.
British American Foundation of Texas does not meet this Standard because:
- It states it does not have audited financial statements for the past fiscal year.
Standard 14: Budget - Have a board-approved annual budget for its current fiscal year, outlining projected expenses for major program activities, fund raising, and administration.
British American Foundation of Texas does not meet this Standard because:
- its current fiscal budget does not include a total projected expense for fundraising.
