IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 10 Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare and Franciscan Ministries are part of a controlled group of health care and housing providers, controlled under a common parent organization Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. Some of these organizations are exempt through the Catholic Group Ruling and other organizations have a stand-alone exemption (IRS determination) letter. As such, these related affiliates have certain policies and procedures that were adopted at the parent level, but are applicable to the entire controlled group of organizations. All policy and procedure matters are handled in a manner to ensure that all activities are consistent with the organization's overall exempt purposes. Please see Schedule R for a full listing of all related affiliate organizations. IRS Form 990 Part VI Section B Line 11 Affiliates of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare use a multiple-level review process on all Federal and State information and tax returns 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 the Controller, who focuses on the income statement and balance sheet items, and all 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 Accounting, the return is provided to the Tax Department, where the Tax Manager and Vice President of Accounting focus their review 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 K, Schedule H, and Schedule J, may be selected for review by outside bond counsel, a community benefit associate, and/or the compensation committee respectfully and as needed. This decision will vary from year to year, again based on many factors. The Accounting Department, upon completion of all levels of review, will schedule an appointment with the Senior Vice President and CFO, who will perform a review prior to signing the return. Once signed, the return is cleared to provide to members of the Board of Directors. The parent organization, Wheaton Franciscan Services, Inc. has designated that the Audit Committee review the parent return in certain years, where the 990 is explained at a high level by management representatives, and any questions or concerns that the Committee has can be addressed. At a later date and prior to efiling, the full board is provided access to all 990's throughout their assigned region via an online portal. A similar process exists at the regional holding company levels - a 990 is selected for review in certain years by the Finance and Operations Committee. Similarly, the 990 is explained at a high level, and Committee questions or concerns are addressed. Members of the full board are provided access to all 990's within that region via an online portal prior to efiling.
