Yfa Connections

“A copy of the 990 is provided to the ceo who reviews the form, schedules and related attachments. Any comments or questions are addressed with the preparer and a final draft is presented to the board of directors who then approve the 990. Once management is satisfied with the 990, the ceo signs the form 8879-eo authorizing the preparer to e-file the return.”

“A conflict of interest statement is completed annually by the board of directors disclosing any possible conflicts of interest. Management reviews all members' statements and if potential issues arise, the member in question is excused from the room while the rest of the board discusses and votes on the matter.”

“The board reviews and compares the compensation of the ceo and key employees to outside salary survey information to help determine appropriate levels of compensation.”

“See form 990, part vi, line 15a”
