To whom do I report a non-profit for financial disclosure
that is false?
Accusing a nonprofit of falsifying information in its financial disclosures
is very serious, and the decision to report such a situation should
not be made lightly. That said, if you truly believe that a nonprofit
is providing misleading or false information, and you have evidence
to that effect, it is appropriate to act. You should first approach
the people making the disclosure, and present them with your questions
about the information. It may be that an honest mistake was made, or
that a particular individual did something improper and that others
in the organization are already addressing the problem. If you do not
get a satisfactory response, and you still believe that something improper
is going on, you should make a report to the appropriate state agency.
In most cases, this is the state attorney general.
