“The form 990 financial information is reviewed by the internal accounting staff for accuracy to the hospital's audited financial statements.

“Generally the board assesses the conflicts that exist with its members and requests that members with these conflicts be excused from any discussion related to them. Because of the familiarity of board members with one another and the size of the community, the board's self assessment of conflicts can be made with relative ease. An interested person includes any person associated with kmc who has a direct or indirect financial interest in the matter at hand. If the interested person is in a senior leadership position, is a board or committee member, the applicable board or committee shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the interested person is not a board or committee member, the ceo, in consultation with board members and/or other management personnel, shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If it is determined that an interested person has a conflict, the interested person may be excluded from all discussions regarding that agreement, transaction, or arrangement. Proceedings resulting from conflicts of interest are documented in the board minutes.”
