“The form 990 is prepared by outside accountants and then reviewed by the board prior to filing the form 990.”

“Duty to disclose: whenever a director, officer or committee member becomes aware of a potential, perceived, or actual conflict of interest, whether financial or otherwise, s/he shall make the situation known to the board or committee (as the case might be), in writing, and provide all facts material to understanding the nature and scope of the conflict, including whether the interested person believes their ability to make an independent decision based solely on the best interests of cc has been compromised. If the interested person involved does not make this disclosure, another director or committee member with knowledge of the potential conflict should draw it to the body's attention. Recusal: the interested person with the potential conflict must recuse themselves from the meeting and not participate in final discussion and voting on the existence of the conflict. If a conflict is found to exist, the interested person may be invited to provide any relevant information that could be of use to the board in making a decision, but shall again recuse themselves and not participate in the final discussion and voting regarding the transaction. Review: the board or committee shall review the relevant information and decide whether the transaction can proceed and under what conditions (if any) despite the existence of a conflict of interest. The board's decision shall be based on consideration of whether the transaction: 1. Is in cc's best interests and for its own benefit; 2. Is fair and reasonable to cc; and 3. Is the most advantageous transaction or arrangement cc can obtain with reasonable efforts under the circumstances. The existence and resolution of the conflict of interest shall be documented in cc's records, including in the minutes of any meeting at which the conflict of interest was discussed and/or voted upon. Annual distribution, acknowledgment, and disclosure: this policy shall be distributed annually to all directors, officers, and key employees, members of committees, and staff. All covered individuals shall sign an annual acknowledgment that they have received a copy of this policy and agree to abide by its terms.”
