“The yearly audit draft is presented to the audit and compliance committee of the board. As part of this process, the committee addresses the independent auditors with no staff present. After having satisfactorily answered the committee's questions, the auditors issue final audited financial statements. The form 990 is prepared by the independent auditors based on information from the audited financial statements. The form 990 is reviewed by management and agreed with the independent auditors. The form is filed and the final copy of the audit and form 990 are posted on a document portal for all audit and compliance committee members to review.”

“All board members are required on an annual basis and in addition anytime the policy is updated to review and sign the current policy.”
