Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The organization's Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. The 990 was then made available to all members of the board, electronically, for their review and comment. Board members were then given at least one week to review the Form 990 and send comments to the Chief Financial Officer. After all comments and questions were addressed, the 990 was filed with the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“Board members and senior staff are required to complete a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire on an annual basis. Disclosures are required to be updated with potential conflicts as they become known throughout the year. If a conflict is identified by management or by the board, the person with a conflict recuses themselves from the decision-making process, and the board votes on whether or not to engage in the transaction, based on whether it is in the best interests of Mercy Ships.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The Mercy Ships International Board of Directors establishes the compensation of the organization's Managing Director and top management. A compensation committee comprised of several top management personnel reviews and approves all other compensation. Comparability data is used annually and the decisions rearched are documented in both the minutes of the board and committee and individual personnel files.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Mercy Ships makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available for public inspection at the International Operations Center during regular business hours. Documents are also made available upon written request.”

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

“Gain/Loss on Foreign Currency Translation 3,685.”

Form 990, Part XII, lines 2C - Explanation of Responsibility:

“The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for overseeing the audit and selecting the independent accounting firm. This process has not changed from the previous year.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“Endowment funds are intended to be used for 1) The support of staff/crew that need assistance in raising the support necessary for monthly living expenses and 2) To help support the organization's operational and/or programmatic activities.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of activities. As of December 31, 2013, Mercy Ships had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Mercy Ships' federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return Form 990 is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after it is filed. As of December 31, 2013, Mercy Ships' tax returns for the years 2010 through 2012 remain subject to examination.”
