“The form 990 is reviewed by management and the finance committee and a complete copy of the return is provided electronically to the entire board prior to filing with the irs.”

“All officers, directors and executive staff employees of the organization are required to complete an annual conflict of interest statement. If a conflict arises during the year, then such officer or director at their first knowledge of the transaction is required to fully disclose the precise nature of the interest or involvement. The board of directors will evaluate the existence of any conflict of interest. Officers or directors of the organization who have declared or been found to have a potential conflict of interest in any matter involving transactions with the organization must refrain from participating in consideration of the proposed transactions, unless requested by the board or the administration to provide information or interpretation concerning the transaction. The person involved cannot vote on such matters and must not be present at the time of the vote. The chairperson of the board is responsible for the administration of the conflict of interest policy.”

“The process that selfhelp community services uses for determining compensation for the organization's ceo and other top management is modeled after the requirements in internal revenue code section 4958 to establish the presumption of reasonable compensation. Compensation was reviewed and approved by a compensation committee (the committee) of the board, which is comprised of independent persons. The committee engages an independent compensation consultant that presents comparable market data from published surveys of comparable organizations in evaluating the compensation for each individual. For 2022, the committee received the consultant's report and salary survey as assessed in comparison to market movement and selfhelp's executive compensation. The committee conducted a review of this comparability data and documented its deliberation and discussion in minutes that are retained with the other governance materials of the organization. The committee followed the process to establish the presumption that compensation paid to the ceo and other top management for purposes of section 4958 by relying on professional advice in the written opinion of reasonableness from the independent compensation consultant. The process as described above was last conducted in 2022.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. The process has not changed from the prior year.”
