“The Form 990 is reviewed by the director prior to filing the return”

“Disclosure of Conflicts: Board members, staff members and Executive Directors will annually disclose and promptly update any disclosures previously made to the president of the board on an annual conflict disclosure questionnaire form provided by the organization that requests them to identify any situation that could give rise to conflicts of interest. Board and staff are also urged to disclose conflicts as they arise as well as to disclose those situations that are evolving that may result in a conflict of interest. Advance disclosure must occur so that a determination may be made as to the appropriate plan of action to manage the conflict. Staff should disclose to their executive director and board members and the executive director should disclose to the president of the board as soon as the person with the conflict is aware of the conflict or potential conflict or appearance of a conflict exists. Procedures to manage conflicts: For each interest disclosed, the full board, or the executive director or the president of the board, as appropriate, will determine whether the organization should (a) take no action (b) disclose the situation more broadly and invite discussion / resolution by the full board of what action to take, or (c) refrain from taking action and otherwise avoid the conflict. In most cases the broadest disclosure possible is advisable so that decision makers can make informed decisions that are the best interests of the organizations.”
