“Sponsoring organization's external cpa firm prepares form 990, then reviewed by investment and legal offices before submitted. A copy of the form is e-mailed to the governing members/trustees before it was filed with the irs.”
“Lifeway has a chief compliance officer within its legal department. A 800# goes to the individual's office for anyone to report a violation. Trustees/directors are required to sign a conflict of interest disclosure form annually, which is kept on file for a minimum of 3 years per the committee's documentation retention policy.”
“Documents are available for inspection at the sponsoring organization's office.”
“The trust funding the plans has received an exemption letter from the internal revenue service dated may 25, 1990, stating that the trust is tax-exempt under the provisions of section 501(c)(9) of the internal revenue code (the "irc") as a voluntary employees' beneficiary association. The plans and the trust are required to operate in conformity with the irc to maintain its qualified status. The management of lifeway believes the plans are being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the irc and therefore, believes that the related trust is tax-exempt. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the trust and recognize a tax liability or asset if the trust has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. The trustee has analyzed the tax positions taken by the trust, and has concluded that as of september 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or asset or disclosure in the financial statements. The trust has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.”
