“The organization monitors and enforces potential conflicts of interest which are discussed at the annual meeting.”

“Ibca does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public, but all documents that are required to be made available are done so upon request. Ibca provides any updated governing documents and financial statements at the annual business meeting of the association, and they also are made available on at least a quarterly basis, if not more often, to the ibca board of directors.”
