“Line 13: written whistleblower policy: the organization does not have its own whistleblower policy that its governing body formally adopted. However, the organization is covered by the state of michigan whistleblower law. Line 15: the board of directors volunteer their time to the ferris foundation. Four of the directors work for and receive compensation from a related entity (ferris state university). The university board of trustees negotiates with the president on his contract. Employee wages are set by the president with consultation of the board if appropriate. Comparability data is used when setting wages for key employees. The most recent year this process was undertaken was fiscal year 2014.”
“The foundation board audit committee was provided a pdf of the form 990 to review via email before it was submitted, and it has been shared as an informational item with the full board.”
“All directors, honorary life members and committee members, and employees of the ferris foundation are to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. Directors or members with a potential conflict of interest are to give full factual disclosure to the board of directors. Such directors or members shall absent themselves during the review of the matter by the board of directors and its voting on the matter, which would be reflected in the meeting minutes.”
“The bylaws, form 990 tax return, and financial statements are made available on the foundation website. Other documents, including the conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation, and irs determination letter, are available upon request through the foundation office.”

“The internal revenue service has determined that the foundation is tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the irs or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the foundation and has concluded that as of june 30, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any tax periods. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to june 30, 2011.”
