“Form 990 is prepared by the organization's independent accountants, and is reviewed by the organization's business manager and executive director. A copy of the form 990 is provided to all officers and directors before the return is filed.”

“Purusant to the organization's conflict of interest policy, each director shall complete a conflict of interest questionnaire prior to becoming a director and annually thereafter. Each officer or key person shall complete a conflict of interest questionnaire when assuming the relevant position and annually thereafter. Each director, officer, or key person shall promptly advise the secretary or designated compliance officer of any changes to the information provided in that individual's last completed conflict of interest questionnaire. If during the course of a board of directors or any committee meeting, discussion, or deliberation any actual or potential conflict of interest or related party transaction becomes apparent to a board of directors or any committee member, the individual must disclose such actual or potential conflict to the board of directors or the committee. If another director or any committee member becomes aware of any actual or potential conflict of interest or related party transaction, he or she shall disclose such conflict if the conflicted board of directors or committee member is absent. In both cases, such disclosure shall be made a matter of record. Once a related party transaction is identified, the individual who identified the related party transaction shall complete a related party transaction review request and submit the form to the secretary or designated compliance officer. Upon receipt of a related party transaction review request, the secretary or designated compliance officer shall convene a meeting of the board of directors to review the related party transaction before it is entered into by the corporation. The board of directors shall review the related party transaction to confirm that it is fair, reasonable and in the corporation's best interests to enter into the transaction. The board of directors shall utilize the following process to approve transactions subject to this policy: (a) the board of directors must approve in advance the related party transaction. Any member of the board of directors who has a financial interest in the transaction may not participate in the vote, nor may he or she be present during voting or deliberations. (b) the board of directors must make its decision in reliance on appropriate data as to comparable arrangements to the extent they are available. (c) the board of directors must adequately document its decision and deliberations in the corporate records. A potential conflict of interest should be disclosed as it arises for consideration by the board of directors, a committee or individuals reviewing the matter to determine whether a conflict of interest exists and whether the individual should be recused from deliberations and voting. If the board of directors or a committee determines that a conflict of interest exists, then the individual with the conflict of interest may not participate in the vote, nor may he or she be present during voting or deliberations on the matter. The board of directors or a committee should also adequately document its decision and deliberations in the corporate records. Directors or committee members who must leave a meeting due to a conflict of interest or related party transaction shall be deemed present for voting purposes regardless of whether the individual returns to the meeting.”

“Approval of compensation: the board of directors must approve in advance the amount of all compensation to be paid to an officer. Before approving such compensation, the board shall determine that the total compensation to be provided by the corporation to the officer is reasonable in amount in light of the position, responsibility and qualification of the individual for the position, including the result of an evaluation of the individual's prior performance for the corporation, if applicable. In making the determination, the board shall consider total compensation to include the salary and the value of all benefits provided by the corporation to the individual in payment for services. At the time of the board's deliberation or vote concerning an officer's compensation, such officer shall not be present. The board may request that the officer provide information as background or answer questions at a board meeting prior to start of deliberations or voting on the compensation. Documentation of approval:the board shall set forth the basis for its decisions with respect to compensation in the minutes of the meeting at which the decisions are made, including the conclusions of the evaluation and the basis for determining that the individual's compensation was reasonable in light of the evaluation and the comparability data.”
