“The federal form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. It is then reviewed and approved by the mbn board of directors prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”
“Mbn requires that its board members, officers, and employees disclose their involvement in any activity, practice, or conduct that may conflict with or might reasonably appear to conflict with the interests of mbn. The purpose of this policy is to prevent the interests of any board member, officer or employee from interfering with the performance of his or her duties to mbn, and to ensure that there is no personal, professional, or political gain made at the expense of mbn. This policy requires that disclosure of any conflicts of interest and the recusal of any interested party in a decision relating to the conflict furthermore, whenever any director, officer, or employee has a conflict of interest or a perceived conflict of interest with mbn, he or she notifies the general counsel of such conflict in writing.”
“The board of directors determines and approves the salary for the president based on a salary survey and comparable data of similarly ranked senior executive service (ses) employees of the federal government. The board documents the determination of the president's compensation. Mbn hires an independent company to analyze compensation and pay bands for all other employees a global compensation review was completed in july 2017 the review included all positions within the organization.”
“Mbn makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.”
“The corporation performed an evaluation of uncertainty in taxes for the years ended september 30, 2018 and 2017, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status.”
