A few things would reveal this to you.

Examine the prior 990.

The Board should know.

There might be grants or other contracts where they signed off that they would do this.

There might not be audits, but what about financial statements? "Agreed upon procedures?" Who else do they report to for financial purposes?

Do they have Fund Accounting or are they a single-purpose entity?
