INVOICES OR REPORTS ARE SUBMITTED ON A MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY BASIS. IN PREPARATION FOR EACH REPORT OR INVOICE, A DETAILED EXPENSE REPORT IS REVIEWED TO ENSURE THAT ALL EXPENSES CHARGED TO THE GRANT ARE APPROPRIATE. IF A GRANT IS NEARING COMPLETION, THE ED OR THE DOF WILL REVIEW THE DETAILED EXPENSE REPORT AGAIN FOR THE WHOLE GRANT CYCLE BEFORE CLOSING OUT THE GRANT. THIS PROCESS OCCURS AT YEAR END FOR LESS ACTIVE GRANTS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF MLSA REVIEWS THE COMPLETED TAX RETURN PRIOR TO FILING. A COPY OF THE APPROVED RETURN IS THEN PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD PRIOR TO FILING.
