Clatsop Animal Assistance does not meet the following 1 Standards for Charity Accountability:

Standard 11 (Financial Statements)
Make available to all, on request, complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When total annual gross income exceeds $1 million, these statements should be audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $1 million, a review by a certified public accountant is sufficient to meet this standard. For charities whose annual gross income is less than $250,000, an internally produced, complete financial statement is sufficient to meet this standard.

CAA does not meets this Standard because:

  • Although the organization reported total revenue in the amount of $299,763 for the year ended June 30, 2025, CAA states that it does not have CPA-reviewed financial statements.

Clatsop Animal Assistance meets the remaining 19 Standards for Charity Accountability.
