Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The accounting department and audit committee of the board review the 990 before it is signed and submitted.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Annually ask the board members and independent contractors to review the conflict of interest policy and complete/sign the form. The forms are kept on file. When made aware of a potential conflict of interest they follow up and enforce rules (e.g. Recusal from certain votes). There is reliance on the persons' self disclosures.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“When determining compensation the board uses review and approval by an independent person, comparability data, and has proof of the deliberation and decision.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents are made available by request.”
