St Patrick'S Day Parade Inc

“St. Patrick's day parade, inc. Has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. Once the form 990 has been prepared, it is provided to the board chairman, audit chairman, and chief financial officer for review. Any one of the officers may raise any issue or concern with the return's content prior to its acceptance. Once approved by the officers, the return is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Prior to a director's or officer's initial election to the board or the office, or a key person's employment at the corporation, and thereafter on an annual basis, the chairman will distribute an annual disclosure statement to all directors, officers, and key persons to be completed, signed and returned to the chairman as soon as possible. All conflicted party transactions are reviewed by the independent directors of the board. All covered persons with a financial interest leave the room in which deliberations are conducted and do not vote on the question of its approval. The independent directors determine whether there is a conflict of interest and, if there is, whether the contemplated conflicted party transaction is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the corporation. The board will not approve entering into any conflicted party transaction unless it is determined to be fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the corporation at the time of such determination and approved by a vote of a majority of the independent directors then in attendance (provided there is a quorum not counting the conflicted person or persons).”

“The parade makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The return is posted on guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation and by-laws are available upon request.”

“The organization has a committee that is responsible for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. The committee assures the independence of the organization's financial auditors, reviews the organization's critical accounting policies and decisions and the adequacy of its internal control systems, and oversees the accuracy of its financial statements and reports. The process has not changed from the prior year.”
