“The organization does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”
“The prepared form 990 is reviewed by the board before the return is filed with the irs.”
“The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all of its officers and directors. All directors and officers are considered an interested person. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose all material facts to the governing body. The interested person must leave the meeting while a determination of a conflict of interest is made and voted upon. The governing body will determine whether the organization can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. To ensure that the organization operates in a manner consistent with its exempt status, each officer and director must annually sign a statement that affirms that such person has read and understands the conflict of interest policy and has agreed to comply with the policy.”
“The officer's compensation is based on a performance review by the personnel committee of the governing body and a review of the compensation of comparable officers performing similar duties for similar sized organizations. The personnel committee makes an annual recommendation to the governing body that then votes on approval of that recommendation.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
