| | Accountability Review Results:Comments from the Council:TPT's audit reflects the full value of certain revenues and expenses according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Due to IRS requirements, the IRS Form 990 classifies these revenues and expenses differently. The “990 Snapshot” and the “3 Year Average Charity Expenses Data” in this report reflects the audit rather than the 990. We believe that including these significant expenses, as the audit does, is a more accurate view of the organization’s use of resources than is provided in the 990.
