“Upon completion of the form 990 and all supporting schedules, the "return" was first reviewed by the franklin university cfo and director of accounting to ensure the return was prepared consistently with the accounting information provided by the urbana university controller. The return was then reviewed by the urbana foundation treasurer with consultation with the franklin university cfo and tax experts. 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.”
