Global Integrity

“There are no other committees that may act on the behalf of the full board of directors.”

“The federal form 990 is prepared by global integrity staff and our audit firm, raffa, with review and advice from our outsourced accounting services firm, vault. Once prepared, global integrity management reviews for accuracy, and when they are in agreement, the entire draft federal form 990 is provided to the audit committee and the board of directors for review and to collect any concerns or feedback. Once approved, the federal form 990 is filed with the internal revenue service and uploaded for public viewing on our website.”

“Each director, officer and member of a committee of the board shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person: (a) has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy (coi), and (b) has read and understands this policy, and has agreed to comply with this policy. The coi policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. If the board determines that the interested person has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action which may include: a) reconsideration of whether the transaction or arrangement was in the best interests of and was fair and reasonable to the organization at the time it was undertaken; b) recommending the interested person's removal from the board or staff; and c) any other action.”

“To determine the compensation of the executive director, global integrity analyzed comparable salaries at other non-profit organizations of a similar size. The compensation was reviewed and approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors and the final decision was documented in an email.”

“Global integrity proactively shares financial statements and the annual federal form 990 by making each, since our founding, available for review and download on the website. The conflict of interest policy and governing documents as well as other materials are made available upon request.”
