A-133 Audits and Yellow Book Services
All government and not-for-profit entities that expend more than $500,000 a year in federal funds are required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to submit to an A-133 audit. If you are spending less than $500,000 per year in federal funds, you still may need an audit conducted according to yellow book standards.

I recently decided to check the status of several nonprofits/charitable organizations in my area
I began by checking the organization's status using the IRS online pub 78. In most cases, the IRS status was up to date, bear in mind that a nonprofit will not generally lose its exempt status unless it fails to file annually for three consecutive years. I then went to the Massachusetts nonprofit document search website; this not only provides a listing but also the scanned images of the documents as well. I was shocked to discover many of the nonprofits I checked where missing prior year forms or had not filed at all with the "State of Massachusetts." Please remember the site is intended as a informational tool only. There could be several reasons why the documents are not shown on the site. I would strongly recommend you follow up if any of the require information is missing. Thank You, Michael Gleason
