The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the system's internal working group for their review. The internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the internal working group for final review.

“The organization is an affiliate within atlanticare health system and affiliates; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"), which includes atlanticare health system, inc. ("ah system"); a related internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The executive compensation committee ("committee") of the board of trustees ("board") of ah system reviews and approves the compensation provided to the executive staff of the system. The compensation decisions of the committee are set within the framework of a formal compensation philosophy that is approved by the board. The compensation philosophy approves the use of a national peer group of not-for-profit healthcare organizations that are similar to ah system in size and organizational characteristics. The key elements of the compensation philosophy are: total compensation positioned around the 75th percentile, composed of the following elements of pay: - base salaries positioned between the median and the 75th percentile. - incentive opportunities comparable to those of the peer group and designed to position total cash compensation at the 75th percentile for expected performance (includes both annual and long-term incentives). - executive benefits positioned at the 75th percentile. - conservative perquisites and severance. The committee approves the pay of all executives. It sets the compensation for the president and chief executive officer ("president"). The president recommends salary adjustments and incentive award payments to the committee. The committee can approve, modify or reject the president's recommendations as appropriate. Each year, prior to making changes to the compensation of any executive, the committee engages an independent, outside consultant to review each element of executive compensation, including salaries, incentives, benefits, perquisites, and total compensation. The intent of the review is to provide the committee with information it needs to ensure that compensation provided to ah system's executives is reasonable, appropriate, and consistent with the board-approved compensation philosophy. The consultant compiles appropriate comparability data on total compensation from a peer group or organizations comparable to ah system. The committee's process for reviewing executive compensation establishes a "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness," as described in irc section 4958: - compensation for all executives is approved in advance by a committee made up entirely of independent directors with no conflict of interest with regard to the compensation decisions. - the committee obtains and relies on appropriate comparability data on total compensation in making these decisions. ("appropriate" means data on pay for like jobs in like organizations and like circumstances). - the committee documents its process and the terms of its decisions in timely minutes.”
