Audit Findings: An independent audit for fiscal year ending December 2023 identified a significant deficiency in internal controls—specifically a deficiency in internal financial or governance controls that could limit the organization's ability to track and report financial data reliably. This deficiency is less severe than a material weakness but warrants management attention.
