Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The draft 990 is sent to all board members for their comments prior to the return being finalized and filed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“To monitor and enforce compliance with the conflict of interest policy, the organization requires all officers, directors and individuals with substantial influence over the organization to complete an annual statement disclosing to the board any business, contractual or financial relationships the person has with other corporations. In addition, said persons have an ongoing obligation to disclose to the board any financial interest, direct or indirect, that the person would gain from any particular transaction, contract or policy under consideration by the organization. The board must address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis, conflicted persons must abstain from the deliberation of the transaction, and corporate records must be maintained.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The Compensation Committee will establish acceptable compensation packages after reviewing at least one of the following: 1) Information about compensation paid by similarly situated tax-exempt organizations for similar services; 2) current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms; or 3) actual written offers from similarly situated organizations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“Governing documents, disclosure explanation, access to various governing documents as well as conflict of interest and other policy statements are made available to the public upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The draft 990 is sent to all board members for their comments prior to the return being finalized and filed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1To monitor and enforce compliance with the conflict of interest policy, the organization requires all officers, directors and individuals with substantial influence over the organization to complete an annual statement disclosing to the board any business, contractual or financial relationships the person has with other corporations. In addition, said persons have an ongoing obligation to disclose to the board any financial interest, direct or indirect, that the person would gain from any particular transaction, contract or policy under consideration by the organization. The board must address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis, conflicted persons must abstain from the deliberation of the transaction, and corporate records must be maintained.
