“At least once a year, the organization distributes a certification and disclosure form to its officers, directors and key employees, in which each respondent must certify that he or she has received a copy of the conflict-of-interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the organization is charitable and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities that accomplies one or more of its exempt purposes and not engage in activities and transactions that provide impermissible benefites to individuals or entities. In addition, the certification and disclosure form requires each person to either certify that he or she has no actual or possible conflict of interest to report, or describe any relationships, transactions, or other circumstances, including those of an immediate family member, that could result in a conflict between the organization's interests and his or her personal, financial or other interest. Each person covered by the conflict-of-interest policy is required to complete and sign the certification and disclosure form for his or her records. The organization retains the original and signed document in the organization's files. To properly monitor and enforce the conflict-of-interest policy, the organization is diligent in reviewing the annual disclosure forms submitted by covered persons, and in compiling and maintaining a list of potentially conflicted entities and individuals. Proposed transactions are then matched against the list as a means of identifying possible conflicts. The organization has appointed a person ultimately responsible for maintaining the list and screening for possible conflicts of interest. When dealing with major vendors and service providers, the organization ask the vendor or service provider to disclose any relationship - personal, financial, or otherwise - that the vendor or service provider has with any of the organization's directors, officers, employees or volunteers. In addition, the organization undertakes a periodic review of transactions involving any significant expenditure of organizational funds to ensure any compensation paid continue to be reasonable. If a possible conflict is identified with respect to a proposed transaction, the organization follows the procedures set out in its conflict-of-interest policy for determining whether an actual conflict of interest exists, and the procedures for addressing the conflict of interest.”
