Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The data for the federal form 990 is provided to our outside accounting firm for preparation and guidance. After the return is complete, a draft version of the federal form 990 is first reviewed by senior management staff and then presented to the board of directors for review. After approval by the board of directors, the return is then timely filed with the internal revenue service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The organization's conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually, and board members are required to disclose interests that could cause conflict. If the board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose, if, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board determines that the member has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“Compensation for paid employees is determined after an analysis of salaries and benefits for comparable positions with comparable organizations to establish a reasonable range. All salary increases are reviewed and approved by the board of directors and documented in the meeting minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Copies of the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available upon request. The internal revenue service federal form 990 is available to the public on guidestar.”

SPECIFICALLY, WE SUPPORTED TEAMS WORKING AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING PEW CHARITABLE TRUST, CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL, DYNAMIC PLANET REVIVE OUR OCEANS TEAM, AND CARTIER FOUNDATION AND DONOR PARTNERS.- FOS SUPPORTED WWF INTERNATIONAL TO UPDATE ITS PRACTICAL GUIDANCE ON THREAT RATINGS AND PAUSE-AND-REFLECT PROCESSES. THESE WERE CRITICAL MISSING PIECES THAT WILL HELP ROUND OUT A BROADER SUITE OF HOW-TO GUIDANCE FOR IMPLEMENTING WWF'S PROJECT AND PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT STANDARDS (ITS STANDARDS FOR GOOD CONSERVATION PRACTICE) AND WILL BE USED BY WWF STAFF AROUND THE GLOBE. - FOS AND THE MIRADI DEVELOPMENT TEAM WORKED ON MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS TO MIRADI SHARE: (1) NAVIGATION WITHIN MIRADI PROJECTS AND MIRADI SHARE PROGRAMS WAS OVERHAULED BASED ON USER FEEDBACK. THE NEW NAVIGATION STRUCTURE MAKES IT EASIER TO SEE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN MIRADI PROGRAMS OR PROJECTS, PROVIDES BETTER AND EXPANDED ACCESS TO REPORTS AND DATA VIEWS, SUPPORTS IMPROVED WORK PLANNING IN A NEW WORK PLANNING SECTION, CONSOLIDATES ALL PROGRAM / PROJECT ADMIN TOOLS IN ONE PLACE, AND HELPS USERS FIND RELATED PAGES WITH NEW HYPERLINKS BETWEEN PAGES. (2) A NEW COMMUNITY FORUM IN THE HELP CENTER ALLOWS MIRADI USERS TO INTERACT WITH AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. (3) CONTINUED EXPANSION OF THE BULK IMPORT TOOLS MAKE IT EASIER TO USE MIRADI WITH OTHER COMMONLY USED APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS MICROSOFT EXCEL AND WORD. (4) COMMUNICATIONS WITH MIRADI USERS WERE IMPROVED THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A "WHAT'S NEW" WIDGET IN MIRADI SHARE THAT ALLOWS THE MIRADI TEAM TO QUICKLY SHARE NEW FEATURES AND UPDATES WITH MIRADI USERS. FOS ALSO MOVED MIRADI COMMUNICATIONS TO MAILCHIMP TO SUPPORT MORE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF MIRADI USE COMMUNICATIONS AND GIVE MIRADI USERS MORE CONTROL OVER THE COMMUNICATIONS THEY RECEIVE.
