They review for completeness and communicate any concerns that they identify within the documents and worksheets of the tax return. A draft copy is provided to the accounting staff for review.

“The organization has in place a conflict of interest policy as well as a non-retaliation policy (whistle-blower) managed through the compliance officer. The conflict of interest forms are sent out annually to administration and other leadership employees, as well as board members. The forms are then returned to administration. Once returned, they are reviewed by the compliance officer and the president to determine if anything would be deemed a potential conflict of interest. If there is a conflict, the president, compliance officer, and employee/individual meet to discuss. The results of those meetings are an agenda item at the organization's administrative compliance meeting and it is further discussed there. Once a decision is made regarding the conflict, follow-up is made by the compliance officer/president with the employee, if appropriate. The organization also discusses the results of the conflict of interest with the board of trustees.”
