“The first review is by the accounting staff. Once that review has been completed, the draft federal form 990 is reviewed by the president, chairman of the board, and the treasurer. Upon approval, a final draft copy of the federal form 990 is distributed to the full board of trustees before filing.”

“Board of trustees are asked to complete and/or update the conflict of interest declaration and notification annually. This generally occurs in the fall at or after the meeting when elections occur. Conflict of interest with board of trustees are disclosed to the chair, who determines if the conflict can be resolved, or if the trustee should recuse him/herself from a vote, or other resolution.”

“The director of administrative services reviews the compensation studies for nonprofit organizations. One example is the asae compensation study and another is the prm salary survey. A worksheet is prepared comparing the appropriate survey salaries to the staff position with the differences noted. This worksheet is a basis of discussion with the president and ceo at the beginning of the budget process for the upcoming year. The president and ceo's salary is reviewed and approved by the board of trustees.”

“Nwra's federal form 990 is available at the arlington, virginia office and, if requested, can be transmitted by hardcopy or electronic means. The governing documents are available on the website and a hardcopy can be sent, by request. The financial statements are sent to the leadership in monthly reports. In addition, they are sent to the waste & recycling services board and the waste & recycling suppliers board for their regularly scheduled meetings.”

“Nwra has local chapters that are not separate legal entities with all the chapters' transactions recorded through nwra. However from a public outreach perspective, they are treated like separate entities because the chapters operate like local units that cover specific jurisdictions, and have their own officers.”
