For each organization there is also a questionnaire about the organization’s activities and reasons for the closure. Some of the questionnaires include answers on when and why an organization ceased its activities, whether there was a charter, financial assets and minutes of meetings (or other materials) left from the organization, and information on the organization’s board. The notices from the prefect may also include addresses and contacts of responsible persons as well as information on the chairpersons of the liquidation committee.
