“The return is prepared by an independent accounting firm based on information provided by the organization and in consultation with naf staff members. The draft prepared by the accounting firm is then reviewed by the organization's finance department, as well as the finance and audit committees of the board of directors. The final version of the organization's form 990 is then provided electronically to the full board of directors before submission of the return to the internal revenue service.”

“Naf has a code of ethics/conflict of interest policy requiring all directors, officers and key persons to complete a conflict of interest policy letter annually. The letters are reviewed by the audit committee. In the event of a conflict of interest, the board of directors determines the appropriate actions required, including preventing the individual from participating in discussion and decisions regarding the matter. Minutes of the meetings of the audit committee will record the names of the interested person, nature of the conflict of interests, and the final decisions made regarding the conflict of interests.”

A compensation committee and the entire board of directors review and approve compensation for the ceo, as well as all other top management and key employees. This process was last undertaken in 2018.”
