“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. All board members are provided with a copy of the form 990 and given a review period in which to comment. All comments are discussed and any changes are made prior to filing the form 990.”

“After the annual meeting each year the board obtains a newly signed conflict of interest statement from each board member, officer, and key employee. Disclosures are reported to the executive director. Employees of the organization report conflicts to the executive director, who determines whether or not the item is a conflict. If it is a conflict the matter is disclosed to the board chair. The executive director and board members report potential conflicts to the board chair and the members without a conflict make the determination as to whether a conflict exists. Transactions with related parties may be undertaken only if all of the following are observed: 1. A material transaction is fully disclosed in the audited financial statements of the organization; 2. The related party is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction; 3. A competitive bid or comparable valuation exists; and 4. The organization's board has acted upon and demonstrated that the transaction is in the best interest of the organization.”

“No member of the governing body is compensated in any manner. The governing board has a personnel sub-committee that reviews the compensation package of its executive director on an annual basis. The sub-committee takes into account compensation and benefits with comparable not-for-profit entities. The sub-committee's recommendations are then acted upon by the full governing body. The deliberation and final determination is timely documented as part of the committee and board minutes.”

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

“The financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america (gaap). The modified cash basis differs from gaap in that support and revenues are recognized when cash is received and expenses are recognized when cash is disbursed. The organization accounts for fixed assets at cost less depreciation as noted below. Additionally, donated goods and services, other than housing provided by member faith congregations, are recorded at the time of donation.”
