The Montclair Art Museum

“The museum's cfo works closely with an external accounting firm to prepare its irs form 990. A draft of the 990 is then shared and reviewed with the museum's director, president, and treasurer and members of its finance committee. The cfo and these parties present a copy of the 990 to the members of the executive, finance and audit committees, with a reasonable amount of time for their review. Comments are then grouped, summarized, and provided through management to the external accounting firm. A refined draft is distributed to the entire board of trustees for their information and comment. Any applicable questions are addressed prior to the return being finalized and approved for filing with the irs. The museum believes this process ensures the complete and accurate reporting of information on the annual return.”

“Every fiscal year board officers, directors and trustees are required to read the museum's conflict of interest policy, and to fill out a questionnaire which discloses any potential conflicts. The museum also requires key employees to fill out the same form.”

“The personnel committee of the board of trustees reviews comparable salary data and makes recommendations to the finance and executive committees regarding compensation for key employees. Once approved by the executive committee, approval by the board of trustees would be required for hiring and salary of key employees. During the annual budgeting process the board treasurer, museum director and cfo review the salary structure of all positions within the museum.”
