Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by an accountant with the use of the u.s. Chess trust financial records. Once the form 990 is complete, the return is given to the u.s. Chess trust finance committee. The finance committee then verifies that the form is filled out correctly. Once the committee has given their approval for the form 990, the return is then given to the managing director to sign and return to the accountant. The accountant will then submit the form 990 to the government electronically.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, board minutes, and financial statements available to the public on the trust website and upon request.”
