New York Congregational Community Services

“The organization has no committees with authority to act on behalf of the board.”

“New york congregational community services 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. When the form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by management and is ready to be filed with the internal revenue service, it is electronically sent to the board for any comments. A meeting would be called after receipt and would depend on the members' schedules. Minutes of this meeting and review would be kept with the board meeting minutes. Any comments or questions from the board are then grouped, summarized and provided to the outside accountants. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.”

“All board members, department directors, management staff, and key employees upon hiring and annually thereafter are required to sign a conflict of interest statement. This disclosure states that the individual received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, understands it, will comply with the rules, and that they completed the corporate compliance program in-service. Additionally, they must make full disclosure of any activities that could result in a possible conflict of interest. If a conflict is deemed to exist, the president must be made aware and possible disciplinary action or even termination is possible upon review with the hr director and our risk management council. There is also a compliance helpline which is a total-free and completely confidential serve where an individual can report possible violations to the policy.”

“The organization's form 990 and form 1023 is 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, articles of incorporation, form 990, form 1023, and by-laws are also available upon written request or by calling the organization directly.”
