Data Status: Every Source, Its Date and Its Coverage
AuditRadar is built from 5 public sources. This page states, for each one, when it last ran, the periods it covers, how many rows it holds and how often it refreshes, as of 2026-11-15. A source that is more than twice its own cadence behind is flagged here rather than left to look current.
How fresh is each data source?
| Source | Last run | Periods covered | Rows | Cadence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Federal Audit Clearinghouse Single audit filings: auditors, federal expenditures, findings. Known limitations: An audit appears here only after the organization files it and the Clearinghouse accepts it, which is months after the fiscal year ends; a missing filing means nothing has been published yet, never that an organization failed to file. Submissions are published in batches, so a period can fill in after we read it. Source: Federal Audit Clearinghouse data | 2026-11-15 (0 days ago) File pulled Nov 15 · newest filing in our data Nov 6 | 2016–2026 | 407,134 | Rebuilt weekly from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse public extract. | On cadence |
| IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File Organization identity, NTEE code, revenue and assets as last filed. Known limitations: The BMF states what an organization last filed with the IRS, which can be a year or more behind its current position, and it carries no audit information at all. Source: IRS EO Business Master File extract | 2026-11-15 (0 days ago) | 1995-12–2026-06 | 33,577 | Refreshed at most once every 28 days; the IRS publishes the extract monthly. | On cadence |
| IRS Form 990 e-file Accounting fees, the paid preparer, revenue, assets and the Part XII audit answers, as filed. Known limitations: Only electronically filed returns are published, and a return arrives months after the tax period it covers; a paper filer is simply absent from this dataset. Source: IRS Form 990 series downloads | 2026-11-15 (0 days ago) | 2020-12–2026-06 | 26,084 | Read weekly from the IRS Form 990 e-file index, in batches. | On cadence |
| Publicly posted solicitations Read from the issuer's own page; nothing behind a login or a paywall. 38,570 nonprofit websites in the list · 35,768 read in the last 14 days · 139 procurement portals · 642 produced a candidate · 1,969 candidates · 2 published · 2 open in all · portals 127 healthy · 6 degraded · 6 failed of 139 Known limitations: Issuer sites that refuse crawling, and portals behind a login, cannot be read at all, so a solicitation can be open somewhere and absent here. A full pass over the monitoring list takes several days. Source: How solicitations are found and verified | 2026-11-15 (0 days ago) | 2026-09-24–2026-11-15 | 10 | Issuer pages are re-checked on every crawl, at least weekly. | On cadence |
| Contact checks Whether the contact an organization filed with FAC also appears on its own website. Known limitations: Name normalization is imperfect and a website can move; a check confirms only that the filed contact also appeared on the organization’s own site on the date shown. Source: How contacts are checked | 2026-11-08 (7 days ago) | 2026-09-17–2026-11-08 | 22,421 | Each organization's site is re-checked at most once every 90 days. | On cadence |

|---|---|---|

What periods are covered?
The range above is what each source reports, not what it promises. A filing appears here once the agency publishes it: the Clearinghouse and the IRS both publish in batches, so the newest period is usually incomplete.
What does a blank mean?
- Federal Audit Clearinghouse: A blank is what the filing left blank. A missing amount is never shown as $0; each field carries a coverage status.
- IRS Exempt Organizations Business Master File: Only nonprofits that also appear in the Clearinghouse data are kept; the extract itself covers every exempt organization.
- IRS Form 990 e-file: Only returns the IRS published as e-file XML. A paper filer has no row, which is not the same as reporting nothing.
- Publicly posted solicitations: Read from the issuer's own page. A solicitation whose deadline cannot be quoted from that page is not listed at all.
- Contact checks: Whether the contact the organization filed with FAC also appears on its own site. No address or phone number is stored by this check.
How often does each source update?
The cadence column is what we run, not what the agency guarantees. Every figure on this site carries its own date, and every row links to the filing it came from.
