Let’s Catch Up!

In the past several months the Audit Congress blog has been quiet. Pete and I both lead full and rich lives which generally leave us very little free time. We haven’t stopped working on Audit Congress however.

We’ve been busy working on the structure of Audit Congress, and are pleased to officially announce that we have received approval of our 501(c)3 non-profit corporation status by the IRS. This approval allows us to collect donations that are tax deductable, and confers a tax exempt status on Audit Congress.

As a side note, the IRS approval process took only about 6 months or so. We’d been told that the process usually takes significantly longer than that, in some cases several years pass before the IRS makes a final determination regarding a request for non-profit status.  I credit the very thorough job done by Pete, as well as the great advice and support of our Attorney and Accountant.

Audit Congress has registered as a 501(c)3 corporation with the states of Virginia and Colorado, and can now accept donations from Virginia and Colorado residents and organizations. We are working on being able to solicit donations from other states as well.

We have also spent much time planning, and will soon start a campaign to actively seek volunteers. Volunteers will help inform and educate the public about our goal of establishing annual audits of our Senators and Representatives, help organize support with other individuals and organizations, as well as help funding needed to reach these goals.

If you share our belief that accountability and oversight must be restored at the federal level, and you want to restore trust in our government, consider volunteering to help Audit Congress. This is something real and tangible you can do, something that will make a difference. Details of a campaign to recruit volunteers will be offered shortly, but you don’t have to wait.  You can contact us at: Auditor@auditcongress.com now if you wish to contribute.
