“The form 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the executive director and treasurer. It was then presented to the full board for review prior to filing with the irs.”
“The foundation chairman presides over all meetings. Directors are required to review and sign the conflict of interst policy. Prior to the start of the meeting, the chairman asks if anyone has a conflict of interest and, if so, to make it known. If the board determines that a conflict exists, the conflicted person is recused from the meeting for the portion where there is a discussion of the issue on which there is a conflict.”
“The board relied upon a benchmarking analysis to determine the compensation of the executive director. An independent person - the director of human resources for the american wind energy association - obtained comparability data and contemporaneous substantiation, and then the wef board of directors considered this data, deliberated and made the final decision.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request”
“Program consulting: program service expenses 1,126,745. Management and general expenses 2,012. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 1,128,757. Research consulting fees: program service expenses 12,500. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 12,500.”
“An audit committee was formed which is comprised of the executive director, the treasurer, and the chair of the board of directors.”
“On the 2013 balance sheet, the organization transferred $150,940 from unrestricted to temporarily restricted as part of revisions to the 2013 financial statements.”
“Wef follows the financial accounting standards board accounting standards codification (fasb asc), which provides guidance on accounting for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions that might be recognized in wef's financial statements. Examples of potentially uncertain tax positions include the tax-exempt status of wef and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business income tax (ubit). As of december 31, 2014, wef had no uncertain tax positions in its information returns that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits in its financial statements. Wef's policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to any unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year ended december 31, 2014. Wef's forms 990, return of organization exempt from income tax, that have been filed as of december 31, 2014, for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 are subject to examination by the internal revenue service, generally for three years after they were filed.”
