Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

A copy of the form 990 will be provided to the President, prior to submission to the internal revenue service.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

Conflict of interest policy was adopted at board meeting by unanimous resolution dated May 24, 2011. All board members are required to complete an annual disclosure of any conflicts to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. After disclosure of the financial interest, all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The procedures of addressing the conflict of interest is as follows:(1) An interest person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of the transaction or arrangement involving possible conflict of interest. Any interested person shall not attempt to influence the board of directors regarding the conflict matter. (2) The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (3) After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (4) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, and whether it is fair and reasonable and in conformity with the above determination, then it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part 1 Organization Mission or Most Significant Activities

Based on a framework of economic democracy, BCDI leverages existing Bronx assets to address economic, social, and environmental challenges within the borough, and supports collective ownership models in order to distribute wealth and decision-making equitably and broadly among Bronx residents.

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken by the Organization in a tax return and to recognize a tax liability or an asset if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for tax returns filed prior to 2012.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken by the Organization in a tax return and to recognize a tax liability or an asset if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for tax returns filed prior to 2012.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Conflict of interest policy was adopted at board meeting by unanimous resolution dated May 24, 2011. All board members are required to complete an annual disclosure of any conflicts to determine whether a conflict of interest exists. After disclosure of the financial interest, all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The procedures of addressing the conflict of interest is as follows:(1) An interest person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of the transaction or arrangement involving possible conflict of interest. Any interested person shall not attempt to influence the board of directors regarding the conflict matter. (2) The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (3) After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (4) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, and whether it is fair and reasonable and in conformity with the above determination, then it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.
