“At the end of the year, consumers gas cooperative had two officers who have a business relationship. According to irs guidelines, these two individuals have the status of top financial and management officials and are thus officers for 990 purposes. Due to this and the business transactions between these two entities, the organizations' officers have a qualified, reportable business relationship for purposes of form 990, part vi, line 2.”
“The organization is a non-profit corporation operating as a member-owned cooperative association with 5,213 members.”
“Each member of the cooperative, (with the exception of patronage members who do not have voting rights), shall have one (1) vote when electing the president, vice-president, and secretary.”
“The 990 tax-exempt return is compiled annually by an independent accounting firm engaged to provide general accounting services on a contract basis. A copy of the prepared 990 is provided to the controller of the filing organization for review. If necessary, changes are made and then the controller will review the finished return. Copies are provided to the remaining governing body members at that time. Once approved by the board, the 990 is submitted to the appropriate tax authorities.”
“The conflict of interest policy requires all board members to file a conflict of interest statement that specifically prohibits them from having any direct pecuniary interest in a contract with the organization. In the event a board member is employed by a business which furnishes goods or services to the organization, the board member is required to declare his/her association with the organization and refrain from debating or voting upon the question of the contract.”
“Compensation for officers, executive directors, and key employees would be reviewed on an annual basis by a compensation committee with final review and approval by the governing body.”
“The organization may provide copies of governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements to the public by way of request.”
“The cooperative accounts for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. Management determined that there were no tax uncertainties that met the recognition threshold for the year ended december 31, 2015. The cooperative is subject to the gross receipts and personal property tax laws of the state of ohio. Tax expense is accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting and is presented as natural gas cost of sales on the statement of operations and as a liability on the balance sheet.”
