“Upon completion of the form 990 and all supporting schedules (the "return"), was first reviewed by the franklin university "shared service group" (consisting of the franklin university cfo and director of accounting, and the urbana university controller) to ensure the return was prepared consistently with the accounting information provided to the preparer by the shared service group. The return was then reviewed by the urbana foundation treasurer with consultation of the shared services group and tax experts, where considered necessary. Questions arising from the reviews were addressed appropriately, with any necessary changes made to the return. A copy of the final return was then provided to the urbana foundation board of trustees via email for their review prior to filing of the return.”
