“The form 990 is prepared internally and subject to multiple levels of review. It is first reconciled to the audited financial statements (see schedule D, parts XI - XII). It is then reviewed by independent tax professionals. A copy is provided to the full Board of Directors prior to filing.”

“The Board of Directors, CEO, and Senior Management Team annually complete and sign a conflict of Interest Statement of Disclosure. The statement includes an acknowledgement that they have a duty to report a conflict of interest if one arises later in the year. Statements are reviewed by management to determine if any conflicts exist. If a conflict of interest is identified prior to decisions made by Board, Committees, CEO, and management staff, the person involved in the conflict of interest would be excluded from discussion and decisions regarding the conflict of interest item. If a conflict of interest is identified after a transaction has occurred, the conflict of interest item would be referred to the Board (for Board matters) or CEO and CFO (for management matters) for review and determination of corrective action. On a daily basis, the accounting and purchasing departments review transactions for potential conflicts of interest.”

“Goodwill Contracting Services is required to electronically file the Form 990. Due to software limitations for electronic filing the checkbox on Part VII, Section A indicating "neither the organization nor any related organization compensated any current officer, director, or trustee" has been left blank. This box should be checked.”

“Governing documents, corporate policies and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.”

Goodwill contracting services officers and board members do not receive compensation directly from the reporting organization.
