“The irs form 990 is presented to, reviewed, and approved by the board of directors at a regularly scheduled meeting prior to filing.”

“1) the conflict of interest policy is distributed and reviewed upon entry into the organization and annually thereafter by top management and the board. The policy is embedded within both the by-laws, as well as the code of ethics. All employees and volunteers (including board members) are subject to the conditions of the conflict of interest policy. 2) real and/or potential conflicts of interest are reported to human resources director (hrd). The hrd, who also acts as a co-corporate compliance officer along with the ceo, typically reviews & responds to reports of conflicts of interest. These determinations are generally in consultation with the ceo (the other co-corporate compliance officer), and the chief operating officer. 3) actual conflicts of interest are reviewed internally by the hrd, coo and ceo. For board members, real or potential conflicts are reviewed at the time one arises, as well as annually when the board reviews the conflict of interest policy, by-laws, etc. 4) restrictions are imposed specific to the particular conflict that exists, but always with the idea of structurally and/or operationally eliminating the potential of the conflict of interest in unduly influencing the integrity of any & all organizational (including employees, volunteers, board, contractors, etc.) decisions, actions & behaviors. For example, if a volunteer applicant is an immediate family member of a manager who would normally become their supervisor, the organization changes the line of direct & indirect supervision to exclude that person, in addition to excluding them from any decision-making around schedules, benefits, promotions, reviews, etc. Board members and all employees are required to disclose any real or perceived conflicts of interest. These are reviewed for action by the organization's designated corporate compliance officers, or the board of directors (if it is a board member disclosing a conflict of interest). The organization mitigates reported conflicts of interest by removing from the individual decision making authority or influence in the associated transaction.”

“The board of directors follows policy when setting executive compensation that includes several factors such as referring to comparable organizations, performance of duties, scope of duties, program/financial health of the organization, and other factors as determined by the board.”

“The governing documents, policies, tax returns and financial statements are available upon request.”
