“A draft version of the 990 is provided to the governing body members prior to the scheduled finance and audit committee meeting. Questions and comments are reviewed at the finance and audit committee meeting and any approved edits are completed before filing the return.”

“Each of the organization's directors is required to disclose all potential and apparent conflicts of interest known to such director.

“The organization's top management officials, officers, and key employees are compensated by a related entity via an employee leasing type arrangement thus this question has been answered "no" in accordance with the form instructions. The related entity establishes compensation of the organization's ceo/executive director through a compensation survey or study and approval by the board or compensation committee.”

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

“Usf and umsa provide human resources and payroll processing services for the employment and compensation of employees assigned to provide services in support of hpcc. The arrangement is similar to that of an employee leasing service. All payroll related returns are filed under usf or umsa. Therefore, the number of employees reported on hpcc's form 990 is zero.”
