“The process by which the organization's officers, directors, board committee members, and management reviewed the prepared form 990 is as follows: the board did require that the form 990 for all 9 brother / sister related and affiliated organizations be prepared from information compiled by internal staff. A draft copy was prepared by an independent public accounting firm with specific expertise in not-for-profit tax return preparation and the form 990 was then provided to the organization's management and board members. A detailed review of the form 990 is conducted for any changes or corrections. After review by all of the aforementioned individuals, the independent public accounting firm conducts their final review, signs as paid preparer and assists with the electronic submission of the form 990. Utilizing this methodology, a copy of the form 990 is provided to each voting member of the organization's governing body for review and comment prior to the form 990 being filed.”

“Upon election to the board of directors, all directors are required to complete a written conflict of interest form in connection with the organization's conflict of interest policy. The organization also follows the practice of updating officers and directors' conflict of interest information in writing annually. The assistant to the ceo monitors the distribution and receipt of the board's written conflict of interest forms. When the completed forms have been received, the assistant to the ceo records and reports conflicts if any, to the board chair and ceo for their review and further action. All board members and employee personnel are subject to the organization's conflict of interest policies. All employees are required to act independently and without a conflict of interest in the performance of their job duties. In addition, as part of the board member's and employee personnel's training any potential conflict of interest prohibitions and situations are covered and discussed. The organization has established an "oversight compliance committee" composed of directors of the board and staffed by the corporate compliance officer and compliance personnel. All potential conflicts of interest are initially reviewed by the corporate compliance officer, compliance personnel and the management compliance committee and an initial determination of potential conflicts is made. The potential conflict of interest and the initial determination is then reported to, and discussed with the oversight compliance committee of the board which makes the final determination with regards to whether a conflict of interest does, or does not exist. Any person, including board members, officers, directors, key employees and / or managers and all employee personnel are prohibited by the board conflict of interest policy from participating in any transaction in which the oversight compliance committee has determined that a conflict of interest exists. The oversight compliance committee provides reports of its activities directly to the board of the organization. Any person found to have knowingly violated the organization's conflict of interest policy is subject to disciplinary action and / or dismissal. Board members are generally reminded from time-to-time at board and committee meetings of the organization's conflict of interest policy. Board and committee members are asked to disclose any issue or matter in which they have a conflict as indicated above. They are also asked to abstain from voting on such matters. Employees are reminded about potential conflicts of interest through our corporate and mandatory training programs.”

“All nine entities are under common control and follow the same compensation process. The board of directors has established a management and personnel committee comprised of board members having no conflict of interest with respect to compensation and benefit matters to be established for all senior executives employed by the organization. The board committee utilizes study data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions in similarly situated organizations in its deliberations. Data has been compiled using an industry job description / classification compensation study which focuses on multi-organization, multi-location, multi-level care senior living service organizations in the united states for comparative compensation information which is compared to the united methodist home's senior executive compensation levels. United methodist home's key employee and executive compensation levels are reviewed annually by the management and personnel committee and are subsequently incorporated, upon approval by the board, into the organization's annual budget. These discussions are documented in the committee minutes.”
