“MCFI is an affiliate of CFI, which assists in managing the organization. CFI Finance management and staff completed the Form 990 and related schedules. Following completion, the Form 990 and related schedules were reviewed by the President and CFO. The draft was also reviewed by the Chairman of the CFI Audit Committee prior to submission to the IRS. A copy of the Form 990 was made available to the CFI Board of Directors and Finance Committee prior to submission to the IRS.”

“Annually, all directors and officers complete and sign a statement that provides information regarding their interests and those of their family members that could give rise to conflicts. The signed statements are kept on file by CFI's Executive Office Manager. CFI's management makes determinations of whether a conflict exists and the members of the governing body review actual conflicts. Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions on the transaction.”

“CFI periodically hires an independent consulting firm to perform a study of the compensation of the President and certain other employees based on their job descriptions. The consulting firm conducts market research and determines a fair compensation range for each individual based on a competitive peer group. In between these periodic independent studies, the VP of Human Resources and Director of Compensation, Payroll and Benefits review market comparisons of similar organizations. The reports are available to the Executive Committee of the governing board.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
