“Form 990 is reviewed for completeness by the chief financial officer. It is then provided to the chairman of the finance committee and all committee members where it is reviewed and questions are asked of management and the independent auditors as appropriate. It is then approved by the finance committee and reported to the full board of directors.”
“Regularly, and at least annually, the general manager reviews with each person in the designated groups the compliance requirements of the conflict of interest policy. Each person must then certify with their signature that they understand the requirements and are not in any violation of the requirements.”
“The contractual salary of the general director is determined by a committee of the board of directors, all of whom are independent directors. The committee considers comparable data which is obtained through the resources of opera america, the national association of opera companies. Opera america tracks and reports the salaries of the top executive directors of all opera companies in the united states of comparable size. The salaries of employees are typically less than the average salaries of similar positions in opera companies of comparable size.”
“Any interested person may obtain a copy of the organization's form 990 upon request, or they may make an appointment and inspect a copy of governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements at the company's office.”
“Forgiveness of debt from vendors 26,880.”
“The board of directors and the audit committee have the responsibility for the oversight of the financial statements, the audit, and the selection of the independent auditors. There has been no change to the process of oversight by the committee.”
