The Visiting Nurse Association of Staten Island Inc

“The 990 is prepared by our independent accountants from information gathered as part of their audit and from other information supplied by the agency. A draft of the 990 is reviewed by the ceo & the cfo. The report is signed by the appropriate parties & mailed, certified/return receipt. The board of directors is informed (at the next scheduled meeting after the mail date) that the signed 990 form has been filed and that the form is available for their examination.”

“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 annually sign a conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The signed conflict of interest policy is submitted to the corporate compliance officer who reviews the signed attestations for potential or actual conflicts. If a potential or actual conflict of interest exists, the corporate compliance officer will notify a member of management or the governing body about such conflict and investigate the conflict. The results of the investigation will be summarized and documented by the corporate compliance officer and be reported to the governing body. If the corporate compliance officer establishes that an actual conflict exists, the member of management or the governing body will be notified immediately and will not be allowed to vote or be a part of any decisions about any such transactions that have to do with the conflict until such time there is no longer a conflict.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. The organization's form 990 can also be found on www.guidestar.org.”
