“Icmec undergoes an annual independent audit conducted by an outside accounting firm which produces an audited financial statement for the organization. The independent auditors also prepare the form 990. Management reviews the form 990 and compares it to the audit information. The board finance and audit committee reviews the form 990 to make sure it matches the audit and that the 990 includes all required program and financial information. Upon approval of the 990 by the finance and audit committee, the 990 is made available to all board members prior to filing.”

“Members of the board of directors and organization's key staff must annually reaffirm that the conflict of interest form on file with the organization is accurate and complete. The conflict policy and conflict disclosure form notify directors and staff of their duty to notify the organization if a potential conflict situation arises between the annual disclosures. Any potential conflict situations are disclosed to the board of directors which decides if a conflict exists and what actions are necessary based on any conflicts that are determined. If a potential conflict of interest does occur, the conflicted board member(s) is asked to remove him or herself from the meeting or from the decision making process, as applicable.”

“The process for determining compensation and benefits of employees and officers is an ongoing responsibility of management in consultation with the human resources department.

The board of directors reviews and approves the compensation and benefits for the president and ceo. The president and ceo, in consultation with the board of directors, reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of other officers and key employees these decisions are properly documented (note icmec does not compensate its directors or non-staff officers). The most recent compensation review was completed in october 2016.”
