Arc of South Carolina does not meet the following 2 Standards for Charity Accountability:
Standard 13 (Accuracy of Expenses in Financial Statements)
Accurately report the charity's expenses, including any joint cost allocations, in its financial statements. For example, audited or unaudited statements which inaccurately claim zero fund raising expenses or otherwise understate the amount a charity spends on fund raising, and/or overstate the amount it spends on programs will not meet this standard.
ARCSC does not meet this Standard because:
- The BBB Wise Giving Alliance disagrees with the organization's allocation of fundraising expenses. According to the ARCSC's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, the organization did not allocate any expenses toward fundraising.
Standard 14 (Budget)
Have a board-approved annual budget for its current fiscal year, outlining projected expenses for major program activities, fund raising, and administration.
ARCSC does not meet this Standard because, when the organization provided 2020 budget information, it indicated that the budget:
- Did not identify total projected program service expenses.
- Did not identify total projected fundraising expenses.
- Did not identify total projected administrative expenses.
Arc of South Carolina meets the remaining 18 Standards for Charity Accountability.
