“Thulasiraj ravilla and r.d. Ravindran are brothers. They are married to nieces of the founder dr. G. Venkataswamy. Srinivasan aravind is their cousin by marrige, and pavi mehta is their niece by marriage.”
“The organization's form 990 is sent to the board for review prior to filing.”
“A questionnaire is distributed to the board annually regarding the existence of any conflict of interest issues. Each board member signs the questionnaire indicating his/her understanding of the policy and the board president reviews the responses.”
“The executive committee of the board reviewed public information on executive director responsibilities and salaries and determined the initial base salary for a part-time executive director, given current responsibilities. The salary level was approved by the finance committee.”
“Aravind eye foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
“The board is responsible for the selection of the independent public accountant and oversight of the audit. This process has not changed from prior years.”
“Generally accepted accounting principles require that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the aef's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Aef has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Aef's forms 990, return of organization exempt for income tax, for the years ending december 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.”
