Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8B

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the Board of Directors.”

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

“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organization's top management. The reviewed Form 990 is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS.”

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

“The Board and officers sign conflict of interest statements. These statements are reviewed by the President. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

“Line 15a - The independent Board discusses and reviews compensation. Annual comparisons are made to industry standards before approving salaries for the President. The decisions and deliberations are contemporaneously documented. Line 15b - The organization does not compensate any other officers or key employees. Therefore, this line was answered no in accordance with the instructions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Arete Scholars Fund makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request. Financial statements are available on the organization's website.”

“The organization's Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of its independent accountant. This process has not changed since the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.

As of June 30, 2018, Arete had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Arete files information tax returns in the U.S. and the state of Georgia. Arete is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2014.”
