The board of directors review form 990 prior to filing

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; b. Has read and understands the policy; c. Has agreed to comply with the policy; and d. Understands the organization is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. Violations of the conflicts of interest policy shall be addressed by the governing board or committee. The board will determine if the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest and shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. To ensure the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax- exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A
