| According to the Cancer Fund of America & Affiliate consolidated audit of December 31, 2013 (Note 6): "During 2010, the Organization entered into a note agreement as the lender with an officer. The original amount of the loan to the officer was $90,000. The officer subsequently made a lump sum payment of $51,400 ... It is to be paid back to the Organization in monthly installments of $746 including interest at 6.00%. The balance of the note as of December 31, 2013 is $20,475." "The officer's intent was to borrow money from the life insurance policy referenced in Note 3 [of the audit].
