Rwj bh has the ultimate authority and right to elect the members of this organization's board of trustees and has certain reserved powers as defined in this organization's bylaws.”

“The organization is an affiliate within rwjbarnabas health; a tax-exempt integrated healthcare delivery system ("system"). Rwj barnabas health, inc. Is the tax-exempt parent entity of the system. The organization's federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of its governing body (its board of trustees) prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). In addition, the rwj barnabas health, inc. Audit committee assumed the responsibility to oversee and coordinate the federal form 990 preparation, review and filing process for all tax-exempt affiliates within the system. As part of the organization's federal form 990 tax return preparation process, the system hired a professional certified public accounting ("cpa") firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and system individuals including senior vice president/general counsel, chief financial officer, senior vice president of system internal audit and various other individuals ("internal working group") to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's internal working group for review. The organization's internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization's internal working group for final review and approval. This form 990 was also reviewed at a special meeting which included the organization's chief financial officer, a board member of the organization and the outside professional cpa firm which was retained to prepare the federal form 990. Following this review, the final federal form 990 was provided to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to filing with the irs.”

“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy with which it regularly monitors and enforces compliance. This conflict of interest policy requires that a conflict of interest form consistent with best governance practices and internal revenue service guidelines be circulated to officers, trustees and key employees annually. In a situation in which a trustee discloses an interest that could give rise to a conflict, the trustee's potential conflict is referred to the system's corporate nominating and governance committee which evaluates the conflict and its potential impact on the trustee's participation on the board or on certain issues which may come before the board. As appropriate the committee will take action to address the conflict.”
