Once reviewed and approved for submission, the Chair of the audit and compensation Committee notifies the Chief Financial Officer that the Form is ready for submission to the IRS. 4. The Chief Financial Officer provides a copy of the Form 990 to each board member of the board of trustees prior to filing. 5.

“Monitoring and enforcement of compliance with conflict of interest policy Annually, each member of the Board of Trustees and every officer must complete and submit a disclosure form to the Director of Legal Affairs. Included in the disclosure form is any employment, board membership, compensatory arrangements, material interests, etc. with other entities. The Director of Legal Affairs inputs all of the information into a database so that material transactions can be checked against all of the data provided in the disclosure forms. Also, pursuant to policy, the board members and officers have to disclose any interests in or relationship with an entity that Altarum is pursuing a transaction with (at the time the board member or officer becomes aware of the potential transaction). in the event of a potential conflict of interest, the interested person must disclose all material facts, and the disinterested board members (without the interested person) discuss and vote upon whether or not an actual conflict of interest exists. If a conflict of interest exists, then alternative transactions or arrangements will be sought out and considered. If no alternative transaction is suitable, the disinterested members of the board determine whether or not the conflicted transaction is in Altarum's best interests and determine if the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable. Upon a conflict of interest occurring that was not disclosed, the interested person must explain the failure to disclose the alleged conflict. After hearing the explanation and conducting any necessary further investigation, the board will take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
