National Museum of Mathematics

“The national museum of mathematics has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. When the form 990 has been prepared, reviewed by management, and is ready to be filed with the internal revenue service, it's submitted electronically to members of the organization's governing body for any comments prior to its submission. Any comments are then grouped, summarized, and provided to the compliance officer or committee in charge of filing the return for their review. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.”

“The national museum of mathematics currently has in place a conflict of interest policy that it annually monitors and enforces. The policy covers all trustees, officers, committee members and employees of the museum. The board currently mandates that all members of management and the governing body annually review the conflict of interest policy and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. The individual reporting a potential or actual conflict of interest to the board is required to disclose all material facts relating to his or her interest in the transaction. The board will determine if an actual conflict of interest exists and take action that the board deems appropriate. The interested person may not be present during board discussions and deliberations about the potential or actual conflict, other than to answer any questions that the board may have about the interest. The interested person may not vote on the transaction or be present when a vote is taken. The minutes of the board meeting detail the terms of the transaction, the date the transaction was approved, the board members present during the debate and who voted on the transaction, any data the board relied upon in determining that the transaction was reasonable and in the best interest of the museum, how comparability data was obtained, the disclosures made by the interested person, and whether the interested person otherwise participated in any discussions or proceedings (i.e. To answer questions). The minutes of the board are reviewed and approved by the board at the next board meeting. Failure to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest may result in removal from the board of trustees for board members, or termination of employment for museum officers or employees. The involved individual will be asked to explain the alleged failure to disclose an actual or potential conflict of interest to the board who will then determine if a violation of the conflict of interest policy has occurred.”

“The board of trustees of the national museum of mathematics has a compensation review committee that reviews officer compensation. Documentation of committee discussions, deliberations and decisions are documented in the committee minutes.”
