“The members of the corporation are the same as the members of the saint mary's hospital board of directors (now known as the mayo clinic hospital--rochester board of governors).”

“The form 990 is prepared by mayo corporate tax with assistance from site accounting staff. The tax return goes through two levels of review within the corporate tax unit. It is then reviewed by the board president. A copy of the form 990 is then provided to each member of poverello foundation's governing body via us mail, e-mail, or distribution at a board meeting. All questions are addressed prior to filing the form 990.”

“Mayo clinic and its affiliates have a comprehensive conflict of interest policy applicable to all of the affiliated entities and to all directors, officers, and employees of those entities. All current and former officers, directors, trustees, key employees and highest compensated employees who we anticipate will be listed on a form 990 are asked to complete an "annual tax and compliance disclosure" form. This information is reviewed by both the corporate tax department and the office of conflict of interest review. All disclosures of current or proposed activity that require action under the policy are the subject of ongoing review and action through the office of conflict of interest review and the conflict of interest review board. Involved individuals are informed of all required action. Many types of relationships that could create conflicts of interest are prohibited. Other types of relationships are permitted subject to compliance with the management plan established by the conflict of interest review board. A common management strategy for permitted activities is to require bilateral recusal and appropriate documentation in the minutes of mayo clinic (and/or affiliate) and the outside entity. Additional conflict of interest policies and procedures exist for certain entities concerning research contracts and other types of potential conflicts.”

“Poverello foundation's audited financial statements and governing documents are available upon request. In addition, the conflict of interest policy is available upon request and also on the mayoclinic.org website.”
