Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“A national public accounting firm prepares the form 990 and presents it to the board's finance committee. The finance committee oversees distribution to members of the board for review and approval before it is filed with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Conflict of interest policy each director/trustee of the organization is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of employment, board service, or position with the organization. The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual review and, when necessary, the use of outside advisors. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Process for determining compensation empower illinois has worked with professional recruiters and staffing firms, in addition to internally managed search processes, to fill key positions within the organization in the past fiscal year. Empower illinois staff relied on the professional review and recommendation of employment professionals regarding the scope and appropriateness of position descriptions and employment requirements, as well as the comparable salary ranges relative to the market (e.g., location, size of organization, scope of work and professional responsibilities, etc.). Empower illinois is also part of a national network of education-related non-profit organizations (pie network: policy innovators in education network) that conducts and disseminates the results from an annual hr and compensation survey. Empower illinois participates in the study and the seminars explaining hr and compensation trends, which inform our own overall compensation philosophy and compensation for specific employees/positions. A copy of this report is available upon request.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“How documents are made available to the public empower illinois' governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Fin 48 footnote the organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. However, exempt organizations may be subject to income tax on any unrelated business income. The fasb has issued guidance that requires the tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements, and there is no interest or penalties recognized in the statements of activities or statements of financial position.”
