Schedule O Disclosures

“IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 11a and 11b: Ministries that were affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 used a multiple-level review process on all IRS Forms 990 to ensure accurate and timely filing for all organizations. Under the direction of the Tax Manager, the Accounting Department prepares Forms 990, 990-T, and associated state filings. When complete, the return is first reviewed by a Senior-Level (or higher) associate in the Finance Department, who focuses on the income statement and balance sheet items, and schedules where transactions of this type might be reported. If discrepancies are found, the item will be corrected prior to the next step in the review process. Once cleared through Finance, the return is provided to the Tax Department, where the Tax Manager concentrates primarily on consistency of reporting between all returns, accuracy of tax related information, and explanation and understanding of any outliers. Again, any problems or questions are investigated and corrected. Depending on the level of complexity of the year in question, as well as the individual issues specific to that filing, certain returns may be selected for outside review by a public accounting firm. This decision will vary from year to year based on many factors, and sometimes outside review is not utilized at all. Also, certain schedules, such as Schedule H or Schedule J may be reviewed by committees, such as the Community Benefit Team or the Compensation Committee in selected years. The board has asked for formal presentations on various 990 topics over the years. This decision will vary from year to year, again based on many factors. Once all levels of review have been completed, the Tax Manager (or the designated employee in the applicable region) will schedule an appointment with the signer of the 990. This is normally a Senior Vice President or CFO of the applicable region, who will perform an additional, normally high level review prior to signing the return. Once signed, the return is cleared to provide to members of the Board of Directors, who at a leater date but prior to efiling, are provided access to all 990's throughout their assigned region via an online portal. Additionally, as a courtesy, an individual who is listed on any 990 as a reportable individual will also receive access to the portal, where they can view the 990 if they so choose, prior to it being filed with the IRS. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Lines 12a - 12c: The organization has a Conflict of Interest policy which states that if at any time, an officer or director become aware that the board may discuss or act upon any transaction or arrangement which may have any bearing of any kind upon, or may relate in any manner to, a financial interest of the individual, the financial interest must be disclosed. All associates of the organization must disclose a potential conflict of interest any time it arises. The disclosures are reviewed and a determination is made as to whether a conflict of interest exists and how it might be managed. Additionally, as part of an annual process, conflict of interest questionnaires are sent out to all Officers, Directors, and other individuals in key positions using software designed to capture this information. The responses are analyzed in order to determine information on potential conflicts, as well as information on business and family relationships and other disclosures required to be made on IRS Form 990. Responses to these questions are reviewed by the Vice President of Compliance and the Manager of Tax Compliance, and follow up action, if any, is documented within the software. Non-responders are reminded of their oustanding disclosure requirement automatically through the software system. Responses to questions continue to be reviewed and documented throughout this time period. Approximately 1 month prior to the filing deadline of IRS Form 990, responses to date are co”
