CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

According to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation 2018 tax filing, the Foundation reports that it became aware during the year of a significant diversion of its assets (IRS Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 5 & Schedule O): "In 2018, the Foundation discovered that one of its international employees misappropriated approximately $816,000 in Foundation assets. The activity spanned from May 2017 until December 2017. The Foundation filed an insurance claim related to the missing funds and was able to recover approximately $600,000 of the misappropriated funds. "The fraud, which entailed diverting money sent through a mobile money platform to beneficiaries of the Foundation receiving medical services, was discovered by Foundation staff in the Uganda office and was thoroughly investigated by the Foundation's DC based fraud investigation team. Immediately after the discovery and investigation of the fraud, the Foundation terminated applicable staff and bolstered internal controls related to the misappropriated payments. More specifically, the Foundation formed a committee to perform detailed review of all relevant mobile money policies and procedures in all country offices, made changes where necessary and implemented the newly strengthened procedures. As a result, more thorough reviews are being performed and more detailed analytical procedures are being applied to all mobile money transactions entered into by the Foundation."
