“Form 990 review process as part of the tax return preparation process, the organization hired a professional 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 other senior management members of the organization and the system to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return.

The organization's finance personnel and other senior management members 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 finance personnel and other senior management members for further review and approval.

“The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually, all members of the board of trustees, officers and senior management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the chief compliance officer and reviewed with internal audit, the finance department and general counsel. Both data and a summary are presented to the cooper health system's audit/ethics & compliance committee for their review and discussion. The organization's compliance and legal departments have developed processes to review and present potential conflicts to the audit/ethics & compliance committee. Cooper representatives who knowingly violate the code of ethical conduct, cooper policy or procedure, or law or regulation will be subject to appropriate corrective action, which may include termination, civil liability, or referral to law enforcement agencies. Cooper representatives who believe that they have been disciplined unfairly will have the opportunity to appeal disciplinary action, pursuant to cooper employment policies.”

“The process the related organization, the cooper health system, uses for determining the compensation of senior executives is compliant with the requirements of internal revenue code section 4958 to enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness: 1. The organization's bylaws charge the audit/ethics & compliance committee with the role of approving the selection of an executive compensation consulting firm and the services, including the methodology that will be employed by that firm, confirms the independence of the executive compensation survey and thereafter recommends to the executive committee of the board the executive compensation survey prepared by the outside consultant. The audit/ethics & compliance committee is comprised entirely of independent members and no member of the committee is either: a member of the board's finance committee or an ex officio member of the board, or; has had any material financial dealings with the organization, or; otherwise has a conflict or duality of interest or the appearance of a conflict or duality of interest with the organization; 2. The selected outside consulting firm prepares a written, detailed report reviewing compensation for more than 20 senior executives, which documents relevant market comparability data, as well as the methodology, job matches, and survey sources used for the executive compensation review, and includes the firm's opinion that the executives' compensation falls within a reasonable range of competitive market practice applicable to like positions among like organizations under like circumstances, for purposes of compliance with section 4958 of the internal revenue code; 3. The executive committee of the board is the required internal approval agent for executive compensation. In that role the committee reviews and considers all recommendations made by the audit/ethics & compliance committee, reviews and approves the report of the outside consulting firm, approves compensation for the affected executives based upon the report and recommendations, and where applicable, recommends to the full board any actions which the committee deems necessary in response to the outside consulting firm's report; 4. The actions of both the audit/ethics & compliance and executive committees are documented in the minutes of the committee meetings. Additionally, the executive committee monitors the organization's compliance with policy regarding compensation of employed physicians. By organization policy, the full board must approve all new and renewed physician contracts for: chiefs and/or institute medical directors; all other physicians who report directly to the organization's president and chief executive officer; all physicians whose base compensation exceeds the 75th percentile of mgma benchmark data; all physicians who are either corporate officer or board or committee members, and; all physicians who have an interest in any entity that refers business to the organization or otherwise has disclosed a potential conflict of interest in his/her annual disclosure survey or supplementary disclosure.”
