Cause Effective Inc.

“The organization 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's submitted electronically to members of the organization's governing body for any comments prior to its submission. The governing body is provided with the one week to review the prepared form 990 and provide their comments. Any comments are then grouped, summarized and provided to the compliance officer or committee in charge of filing the return for their review. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.”

“The organization currently has in place a conflict of interest policy which it annually monitors and enforces. The board currently mandates that all members of management and the governing body sign a conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The signed conflict of interest policy is kept on file and board members may not vote on an issue on which they have a conflict.”

“The organization's board established the compensation of the executive director and periodically reviews this compensation in a process that includes review of appropriate and adequate data to determine the reasonableness of compensation being considered. The board uses a variety of information and studies that are available to determine that the appropriate level of compensation is being paid to its executive. The board's decision on the amount of compensation paid is documented in a contemporaneously written format including the date of the decision, the board members present during the decision and those who voted on it, along with the full terms of the transaction that was approved. The compensation review process for the executive director was last undertaken during 2018. The board performed a performance review of the executive director in spring 2018 and gave a raise to $140,000 annual compensation as of 7/1/2018.”
