“The role of Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association's Audit Committee has expanded to include review of the agency's 990. The accounting firm of Berry, Dunn, McNeil and Parker presented the 990 to the Audit Committee prior to filing the form. The Audit Committee engages the auditors and receives the audit and the 990 Report. The Audit Committee receives a complete copy of the 990 including all schedules. The initial presentation of the FY2014 audit and the 990 Form will occur at the November 19, 2014 meeting of the Audit/Finance Committee meeting. Subsequent Audit Committee meetings will occur if necessary to complete the review. The Audit Committee will report to the Board of Trustees that the 990 review has occurred. The Board of Trustees accepts the Audit Committee reports, the audit, and the 990 documents. All members of the Board will have access to the reports. The Form 990 is available to the public upon request.”

“The Conflict of Interest, Statement of Conflict of Interest with Respect to a Relationship, Transaction and/or Financial Interest form was revised by the Audit Committee in February 2010 and approved by the Board in March 2010. The form was revised to ensure compliance with the State of NH Pecuniary Benefit Law (Chapter 7: RSA 7:19a) and the revised IRS 990 disclosure requirements. The Chief Executive Officer/President reviewed the form and the regulation requirements at the May 13, 2014 Board Meeting. Trustees at the meeting were requested to complete the forms and return them to management. The Executive Administrative Manager worked with Board members to ensure each member had returned the Conflict of Interest Forms. In FY2014, 100% of the Board of Trustees returned the signed conflict of interest forms. The Audit Committee at its June 4, 2014 meeting reviewed the forms for those Trustees that reported a conflict of interest. The Audit Committee reported to the full Board the conflict of interest transactions that had been disclosed on the conflict of interest forms. The Board at its June 10, 2014 meeting approved the conflict of interest disclosures. The approved transactions over $5,000 were reported as required by law to the State of New Hampshire's Director of Charitable Trust at the Attorney General's office and a notice was published in the Concord Monitor. In addition to the annual completion of the form, Trustees were asked at every Board meeting during Fiscal Year 2014, if there were any conflicts that they have identified that should be reported to Management and the Board.”

“The Board at its November 10, 2009 meeting adopted an Executive Compensation policy for the CEO/CFO positions. The Executive Committee's compensation philosophy is to pay the CEO and CFO at the appropriate level of compensation based on market data and surveys such as the compensation report noted above. The compensation will be performance based using the salary information available. In October 2012, the Executive Committee in collaboration with other VNAs affiliated with the Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New England engaged Gallagher Surveys to complete an executive compensation analysis/review that would be used to determine the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer for a three year period. The results of this report were presented to the CRVNA Executive Committee in March of 2013. The Executive Committee members decided at this meeting to accept the report as the appropriate tool to use to set the compensation for the CEO and CFO positions. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees using the Gallagher compensation survey recommended the annual compensation for the CEO and CFO at the December 10, 2013 Board meeting. The Board unanimously approved the compensation recommendation.”
