The King'S Table Ministries

“At the end of the year, an outside accounting firm will prepare the annual return for organization exempt from income tax (irs form 990). The return will be presented to the executive director and board treasurer for review. It will then be submitted to the board for approval. Once approved, the executive director will sign forms to authorize the accounting firm to electronically file the form 990.”

“Each board member reviews and signs the conflict of interest policy annually. It is reviewed each year to be sure everyone signs it at the last board meeting. For any possible conflicts, the remaining board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Any board member found to have a conflict of interest shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the conflict of interest.”

“The board compared salaries and compensation from other organizations that we had dealt with in comparison to what we were able to offer for the executive director position. We also spoke with an independent person for their opinions and thoughts on personality/traits and salary range.”

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