Financial Predictors Using the IRS Form 990

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to create a solution in the form of an application to the problem for finding sustainability in universities. Creating an application that states the financial predictors of any university in formulas solved this problem. These predictors were selected after revising and studying the IRS form 990. The IRS form 990 is the document that the IRS uses to gather tax information from organizations that are exempt from paying it and the necessary requirements to comply with tax laws. Universities are the focus of this project. The university that served as the guide to show that the calculations are correct was the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, from 2015 to 2017. As a result of this project, I found that finance is an important part of sustainability for any university. These predictors help universities know what area is lacking in findings and find solutions to increase it. Key Terms ⎯ Financial Predictors, IRS Form 990, Solutions, Universities.
