“The form 990 of csg was reviewed by the audit and compliance committee of chhs board of directors, and prior to filing, a copy was provided to mcw, the other member of the organization, for review.”

“Annually, all members of the board of directors, officers and key employees are requested to submit a conflict of interest disclosure to the director of corporate compliance. The chhs compliance department monitors and periodically reviews transactions between the organization and board members or entities with which they are affiliated.”

“The organization relies on mcw, a related organization, to establish the compensation of its chief executive officer and secretary. The compensation of the organization's cfo was reviewed and approved by the independent compensation committee of the organization's board of directors. With the assistance of an independent compensation consultant and information from a variety of external sources (as indicated on schedule j), the committee confirmed that total compensation amounts to be paid were reasonable and comparable to amounts paid by similarly situated organizations. The process followed by the committee, including the data relied upon and the committee's decisions, was thoroughly and timely documented.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial information of csg are available to the public upon request through the chhs marketing and communication department.”

“The organization did not file any forms 1099 during the taxable year. Although the organization did retain independent contractors, the compensation amounts owed to such contractors were processed and paid by mcw and children's hospital and health system, inc. ("chhs"), with appropriate intercompany arrangements between the organization and chhs. The forms 1099 for such payments were issued by chhs and mcw, as the entities that processed and made the payments to the independent contractors.”
