Schneck Medical Center Guild

“The business affairs of the guild are managed by the board of directors which does not delegate authority to committees. There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

“The process of reviewing the form 990 entails a detailed review by the organization's accounting department. The governing body receives a copy of the form 990 including requested schedules, as ultimately filed with the irs, for review prior to filing with the irs.”

“The written conflict of interest policy is regularly and consistently monitored and compliance enforced by the human resources department. The scope of this policy includes only guild board members who are employees of the hospital, a related entity. The hospital policy states that the policy is in place to protect the organization's interest when it is entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of a supervisor, manager, leadership team member, vice president, president/ceo or member of a committee with board delegated powers. The covered persons must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interests to his or her supervisor or members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Annually, each interested person must complete and submit a "conflict of interest questionnaire" to the human resources department. The covered persons are to recuse from participating in any deliberation or decisions on such transactions. After disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave the committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
