CrossFit Chapel Hill is a small, locally <br /> owned business and until the audit process we didn't fully realize and understand the requirements, <br /> including asset classification and depreciation expectations. This experience has been a significant <br /> learning process for us and take responsibility for addressing these gaps moving forward. <br /> • We have taken additional steps moving forward to help prevent this from happening again. <br /> -Hire external consultant to perform a formal valuation of our gym assets. <br /> -We now work directly with an accountant to ensure BPP filings are accurate and submitted <br /> each year. <br /> -We have updated internal process so that assets tracking, depreciation schedules, and annual <br /> listings forms are handled systematically and proactively. <br /> • Our intent was to operate in good faith and remain compliant with County requirements. The <br /> penalties arose from lack of understanding rather than willful neglect and committed to full <br /> compliance moving forward. <br /> • The appellant is asking for the discovery penalties to be waived.
