“Voting rights are equal for NETCAs five board members unless there is a conflict of interest with director. That director may not vote on the matter he has a conflict of interest with. The governing body delegates to the executive team on the ground in Taiwan some decision making power in day to day activities. The director may also make financial decisions up to $3000.00 without a board vote.”

“Director Richard Roberts is father-in-law to contractor Matthew Yang of Matthew Yang Ministries who performs programming management and director assistance under contracted labor for NETCA. He is not a key employee. While his advice on a programming issue may be sought he has no official voting power on general operating or programming decisions. Director Richard Roberts who is also the chairman of the board of directors does not vote with the other board directors on issues regarding Matthew Yang or Matthew Yang Ministries due to conflict of interest on any matter that would benefit contractor Matthew Yang.”

“Yes at the beginning of every board meeting NETCAs By-Laws Article II Section 2.11 Conflicts of Interest is read aloud which states NETCA Directors must avoid any situation including outside interests or jobs which might interfere with their ability to exercise independent judgment with respect to their board responsibilities. A conflict of interest exists when a Directors duty to give undivided loyalty to NETCA may be prejudiced by actual or potential benefit from another source. Each Director is expected to avoid any association or investment which might appear to interfere with the independent exercise of his or her judgment and interests. The BOD will publish a separate Conflict of Interest Policy applicable to Directors and staff. After the conflict of policy is read the question is asked if there are any conflicts. There were no conflicts in 2023.”

“Compensation is determined by collective board agreement upon usual and reasonable standards in todays work market in and around churches.

“NETCA”

“In 2024 NETCA started a specialized discipleship program under the program name of Taiwan Bible and Language Institute or TBLI. The inclusion of the word Institute means that the event is very organized to the point of appearing institutionalized to gain the maximum effect for sharing the wisdom of Gods word in an organized and structured method while in a bilingual Chinese and English setting. This event was from Sept 17 thru Dec 10 four days per week. Including the facilitator the event included nine people from Taiwan and USA”

“| Explanation:| 24a Other expenses not recorded in Part IX lines 1-23 are recorded here on line 24A. They are: stipends 1872 gifts 938 donations 7013 and Benevolence 53. These total 9876 and are given in the course of NETCA engaging in public charity programming where giving is a part of our ministry.”

“| Explanation:| These occupancy expenses were for the main office and the maintenance building and their sustainability and their utilities. While I did not list these expenses as program expenses we would not have these expenses if it were not for needing a central location from which to prepare and launch our programs. See 24b for programming expenses which include any rental facilities used for programming.”

“| Explanation:| On line 24c $5329 Expenses are for this reason: Because NETCA has a big Public Charity purpose in Taiwan and because Taiwan is a cash society our office personnel make constant banking exchanges through ATMs the Taiwan Post Office Paypal and Checking accounts. Often when exchanging USD for TWD or vice versa there is an unrealized loss in exchange rates. These unrealized fees can be quite large especially when there are many transactions or large transactions.”
