WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PROCEDURE IN PLACE TO NOTIFY OUR DONORS OF THE VALUE OF GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED. DURING COVID WE ONLY HELD VIRTUAL EVENTS WHERE THERE WERE NO GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED. WE DID OUR FIRST LIVE EVENT IN MID 2022, AFTER COVID RESTRICTIONS WERE LIFTED, AND BECAUSE OF STAFFING CHANGES SINCE THE PRECOVID EVENTS, THIS MISTAKE OCCURRED. EXTRA CONTROLS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. |
