A letter written by an attorney on behalf of a former accountant for the Fire Safe Council of Nevada County alleges that the nonprofit is losing money, suffers from poor budgetary management, and is at risk of being investigated for fraud by the IRS.
In the letter the nonprofit is described as suffering from “diminishing financial viability,” as having “neglected proper non-profit accounting,” and being in an overall “fragile position” as an organization.
The letter was sent June 14 by Grass Valley attorney Susan Kay McGuire to the Fire Safe Council’s Board of Directors on behalf of McGuire’s client, Roby Pracht, a former accountant for the council.
