“The organization's accountant prepares the draft copy of form 990. The draft copy is given to the co-executive director responsible for finance, who does the initial review. The treasurer is also given a copy to review. Any changes, corrections, etc are given by the co-executive director and/or the treasurer to the accountant. An updated draft copy is then given to these two individuals to review again. Once the 990 is approved, the accountant prepares the filing and taxpayer copies of form 990. The board reviews the filing copy and when approved, an officer of the organization signs, dates and files form 990”
