Integrity Home Care Services Inc.

“The organization has members.”

“The members of the organization vote to elect the trustees.”

“The operating decisions made by the governing body (board of trustees) are done so by a majority vote of the trustees and can not be overridden. However, any by-law changes or new trustee appointments require a majority vote of the members, if personally in attendance at the meeting or 100% written approval.”

“Before the form 990 was filed with the irs, all the following reviews took place: the prepared form 990 was reviewed by the controller, chief financial officer, and corporate compliance officer, in consultation with administrative staff members, executive management, and advisors to the organization. The prepared form 990 was reviewed by the finance committee of the board of trustees and was made available to all current voting members of the board prior to filing.”

“The organization's conflict of interest policy requires written disclosures by all trustees, officers, key employees and other management or supervisory employees who are in a position to influence decision-making for the organization. Such individuals are required to disclose actual and potential conflicts of interest upon initial affiliation with the organization, on an annual basis, and whenever reportable interests arise. The compliance officer, in collaboration with the chair of the audit committee, in consultation with the president and the compliance officer, reviews written disclosures, obtains further information as needed, and evaluates actual and potential conflicts. As warranted, the president, the chair of the audit committee, and/or board chairman implements measures to ensure that decisions relating to the organization are made solely on the basis of the best interests of the organization and in furtherance of the organization's exempt purposes. Any trustee who has a duality of interest or a potential conflict of interest as a matter coming before the board is prohibited from voting or using personal influence as to board action on such matter.”

“Compensation for all integrity staff is based on the compensation policies of st. Camillus residential health care facility. The facility's salary ranges are based on an incorporation of a study performed by an independent accounting firm during the 1990's trended forward and two seperate independent surveys of salary packages of similar positions received during 2009. The facility's ceo presents her salary recommendations for key employees to the executive committee annually for their review and approval.”

“The organization makes the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“The board has an audit committee made up of trustees. The audit committee meets twice annually; the first meeting to review the draft financial statements and preliminary findings; the second meeting to review the final financial statements and findings. There have been no changes to this process from the prior year.”
