One Hope United

“Completed Form 990 drafts are presented to management for review by the paid tax preparer. Management reviews the Form 990 drafts both for accuracy and any questions they might have. Management schedules a meeting with the One Hope United Audit Committee for review of the draft Form 990. Draft reports are sent out to Committee Members approximately one week prior to the meeting. Audit Committee Members meet with the tax preparer, and management to review the drafts. Audit Committee Members then either request changes or recommend that the Form 990's be accepted. Their recommendation is then forwarded to Board Members. Board members are presented with copies of the Form 990 drafts and the opportunity to raise questions/request changes. Form 990's are filed with the IRS after all Board Members have been given the drafts and the opportunity to ask questions/request changes.”

“The organization requests that on a yearly basis written conflict of interest statements are signed by each board member. It is the Board Member or Officer's responsibility to disclose any new conflict of interest that may arise since the signing of the annual statement. When conflicts of interest may exist, the member is excused from voting.”

“The Board of Directors request that OHU engage an outside party to do an intermediate sanction study every two to three years for both the CEO and any other officer that may be considered highly compensated. This resulting information is shared with the Board of Directors and any decisions there of are recorded in the Board Minutes. All compensation changes for the CEO are approved by the Board of Directors. The CEO approves all compensation changes for other officers or key employees of the organization. Written documentation/description of the compensation change as well as substantiation is kept in the employee/officer personnel file.”

“OHU's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial reports are not normally available for public inspection. These documents are made available for specific organizations as part of the application process for funding or as part of a contractual obligation, such as to a lender (banking relationship), government contract or grant reporting. Unaudited financial information is released to a lender upon request or as part of a contractual obligation. This may be monthly, quarterly, or yearly, depending upon the situation.”

“Effective July 1, 2017, OHU and each of the partner agencies merged into one entity, named One Hope United. Prior to July 1, 2017, OHU operated under a federated model, which was created to maximize economies of scale and minimize the use of resources for centralized administrative functions. Under this model, the operations of OHU, and each partner agency (One Hope United Northern Region, One Hope United Hudelson Region, and One Hope United Florida Region) were consolidated.”
