New Rules for Global Finance Coalition

“The organization's form 990 was prepared by outside accountants and reviewed by the executive director and the board finance committee. The final draft of the return was provided to all board members before filing with the irs.”

“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with board-delegated powers annually signs a statement affirming that the person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy. B. Has read and understands the policy c. Has agreed to comply with the policy. D. Understands that new rules is a charitable organization and that in order to maintian its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of new rules' tax-exempt purposes; and e. Represents that there is no conflict of interest, or identifies any exceptions. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interest to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person leaves the board or committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members will determine whether a conflict of interest exists. The chairperson of the baord or committee will, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the baord or committee will determine whether new rules can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under the circumstsances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee will determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in new rules' best interest and for its own benefit, and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to new rules. The board or committee will make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with that determination.”

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