“Prior to filing its form 990, the charity provides a draft of the 990 to its governing body and discusses the return.”

“The charity requires each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers to annually sign a statement which affirms such person: a) has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, b) has read and understands the policy, c) has agreed to comply with the policy, and d) understands the charity is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. To ensure that the charity operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews are conducted. The periodic reviews, at a minimum, include the following subjects: a) whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining, and b) whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the charity's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in excess benefit transaction.”

“Upon written request, the charity makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public.”
