“The treasurer, executive director and financial manager of the organization are provided a draft copy of form 990 for review purposes. These three individuals conduct a thorough review of the 990 and advise the preparer of any changes to make prior to completion of the final copy of the 990. Final changes are made by the preparer. The executive director and financial manager of the organization then do a final general review of the completed form 990. The board of directors is also provided with a copy of form 990 for review. If there are no further changes, the completed 990 is then submitted to an officer of the organization to sign and date prior to filing with the internal revenue service. If any additional changes need to be made, the preparer is notified of the changes and then the 990 is reviewed again using the same process until there are no changes to be made.”

“Board members and employees are required to inform the organization's governing body and management of any conflicts of interest that arise. Board members are prohibited from participating in discussion and voting on any issue that presents a conflict of interest.”

“The board of directors reviews the executive director's salary. The review is based on, but not limited to, compensation paid by comparable organizations, employee performance evaluations, budgetary considerations and other comparable data of similar exempt organizations. The board of directors then votes on the proposed compensation amount. The approved compensation amount is then included in the budget, which is also reviewed and approved by the board of directors.”

“The organization makes its governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon specific request. The applicable materials are either mailed or emailed to the requesting person, or that person can inspect the documents and/or materials at the office of the organization during normal business hours.”
