Detroit Non-Profit Faces Audit After The Center Square Reporting

The Tennessee firm Chitwood and Chitwood prepared the filings for Perfecting Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit tied to Perfecting Church that recently received a $500,000 Michigan state grant. The firm now says the salary listing was its mistake and that the money went to employees. The Center Square found further discrepancies in the amended filings, which the firm declined to discuss. Winans and church officials did not respond to interview requests. A full audit is underway and new filings are expected. The IRS declined to comment, citing privacy laws.
