Analytical Report: Trends in Annual Returns Filed by FCRA Associations This report examines the trends in annual returns filed by FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) associations over the years, from 2006-2007 to 2022-2023. The filing of annual returns is a critical component of compliance for organizations receiving foreign contributions, providing transparency and accountability in their operations. Overview of Filing Trends The data reveals a fluctuating trend in the number of annual returns filed over the years, with notable increases and decreases observed. Here's a closer look: Peak Filing Period: The highest number of filings was observed in the block year 2013-2014, with a total of 25,233 returns filed. This period marks a peak in compliance activities among FCRA associations. Recent Decrease in Filings: There has been a noticeable decline in the number of filings from the peak in 2013-2014 to 16,808 in 2022-2023. This decline suggests a decrease in either the number of active associations or their compliance with filing requirements. Early Years: Starting from 2006-2007, there was a gradual increase in the number of filings, reaching a plateau in the early 2010s. This increase could be attributed to the growing number of associations and heightened awareness about compliance requirements. Analyzing the Fluctuations Factors Leading to Peak: The peak in filings around 2013-2014 could be attributed to several factors, including increased scrutiny by regulatory bodies, heightened awareness among associations regarding the importance of compliance, and possibly a rise in the number of associations registered under FCRA. Reasons for Decline: The recent decline in annual return filings might be due to stricter compliance mechanisms, the cancellation of non-compliant associations, or a general decrease in foreign contributions necessitating registration under FCRA.
