Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The financial director shall review the form 990 with the executive director. Once approved by the executive director, a copy is distributed to each member of the audit committee for review. Once the audit committee approves the form 990, a copy is sent to the full board before filing.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Annually, board members, officers, and key staff are required to review the conflict of interest policy and sign a document affirming that they have read and understand the policy. They must indicate if any conflict of interest exists, and fully describe such conflict. They are also required to promptly bring to the board's attention any conflict that may arise.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

A review is performed using comparative data of equal positions within comparable organizations. Experience and seniority are factors of considerations. Independent opinions are sought to substantiate the decision.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

The policy for management and key staff is to receive an annual increase of 3% or a minimum of 1,000, provided the budget allows. Exceptions can be made to this policy based on exceptional merit, but within the comparative norm.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

The irs 990 is made public on ohio citizen action's website and through guidestar, another website.
