“Minutes are taken at each meeting of the board of directors. No committee acts on behalf of the entire board.”
“The 990 will be sent to the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. In addition, all members of the Board of Directors will receive a copy before filing.”
“The board of directors review and sign the conflict of interest policy annually when a potential conflict arises. The matter is discussed at a board meeting and then a vote is taken without the presence of the member with the potential conflict.”
“Annual data from the Opportunity Knocks survey is used to determine compensation for the CEO and other members of the management team.”
“First Step has hard copies of its financial statements and governing documents in the office in downtown Atlanta. They are available upon request. Our 990s are available on-line at www.guidestar.org”
“The organization has not changed its financial statement oversight process. The audit firm selected for year 2013, has continued to provide audit and tax services.”
“The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires First Step to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by First Step. Management believes that First Step has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities.”
