The organization has identified the finance committee as the responsible party for compliance with the policy and completion of the following procedures on an annual basis.

The assistant executive director of finance will communicate directly with the external tax preparer or internal staff member responsible for preparation of these filings. The communication will define and document the timeline and requirements for completion of the responsible party's assigned duties with respect to review and approval of the federal form 990 and new york state form char 500. At least between five and ten business days prior to the filing of the required tax forms with the irs and new york state department of law, charities bureau a draft of the completed forms for the organization will be provided to the designated responsible party of the organization for their review. Any questions following the finance committee's review will be reviewed with the tax preparer. Appropriate modifications to the form, if necessary, will be made prior to filing. At least 24 hours before the 990 and char 500 are filed, an e-mail version of the draft form 990 will be distributed to all board members of the organization for their information and review.
