Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The finance committee met with the independent auditors and reviewed and approved the fy18 financial statements. Subsequently, the 990 was distributed to all board members electronically and they were given the opportunity to review and comment before the form was finalized and filed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“All board members and officers are included under the conflict of interest policy. Each year, board members and officers are required to state actual and potential conflicts of interest on a short questionnaire. The board members then review each statement and identify if and when a recusal may be called for.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The board generally approves compensation of the executive director whose compensation is set as comparable to similar positions within the non-profit community. The board last approved the executive director's compensation in november 2017. This salary remained in effect through the current tax year with nominal cola increases.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“When requested, brooklyn defender services will allow review of financials as well as certain policy documents.”
