“After the 990 forms were completed by the acs accounting department and reviewed by outside tax professionals, copies of the 990 forms were sent to the rcot board for review.

“The college has conflict of interest policies for employees, consultants, and board members. All employees, consultants, and board members are required to sign a disclosure statement each year, which is collected and disseminated by the chief financial officer's office. There is also an acs conflicts of interest committee that meets periodically as the need arises to discuss issues that relate to conflicts of interest. The committee accounts for the receipt of disclosure statements and follow up on any issues. This information is then reported to the acs finance committee of the board of regents. If the acs finance committee feels there are conflicts that are questionable in nature, they are reported to the acs board of regents chair and treasurer for action. The board of regents executive committee shall take action on any presumed or potential violation of this policy by a member of leadership to ensure that a conflict of interest does not arise or does not continue. In addition to any legal penalties, such action may include, but shall not be limited to, oral admonishment, written reprimand, resignation, and restitution. A member of leadership who disagrees with the findings or recommendations of the finance committee or the action of the board of regents executive committee may appeal the decision to the board of regents.”
