Clinton Foundation admits about making mistakes in reporting donations from foreign governments

On Sunday the Clinton Foundation acknowledged that it made mistakes in IRS filings. The foundation's chief executive Maura Pally said that the group is working to remedy mistakes it made in how it disclosed donors and government funding.

On the foundation website Pally wrote, “We made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, foundation executive. And we have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future.”

Pally said that its policies on transparency and contributions from foreign governments are stronger than ever. The Foundation is expected to re-file some of its tax forms, after it had mistakenly combined government grants with other donations.

According to her, the total revenue was accurately reported and grants were properly broken out on audited statements on its website. She ensured that as many organizations they made mistakes, they are quickly to remedy them. They have taken steps to ensure this doesn't happen in the future.

Pally also explained that Hillary Clinton became secretary of state in 2009. The foundation took extraordinary steps to avoid potential conflicts of interest with annual disclosure of donors.

Since Clinton is running for president, the foundation has planned to release the information quarterly and limited foreign government contributions to a handful of governments.

The Clinton Foundation's work with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, received funding from a separate organization in Canada. The partnership didn't reveal about its donors as under Canadian law they donor can't be disclosed without prior permission from each donor.

The has came under inspection as it is named after Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining billionaire who has donated more than $31 million to the Clinton Foundation since the mid-2000s.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea will be starting a nine-day trip to Africa on Wednesday to draw attention to the group’s work on issues such as economic growth and empowerment, climate change and empowering women and girls.
