IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Form 990 is prepared by a firm that specializes in assisting exempt organizations with this type of filing. The completed Form 990 is thoroughly reviewed by the president and treasurer. A copy is sent via email to each board member prior to being filed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Board members are required to divulge all potential conflicts of interest immediately upon becoming aware of the possibility of conflict. Further, each board member is required to certify annually that no conflicts not previously divulged existed at any time during the year. The president is tasked with monitoring compliance with the policy.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The board of directors independently establishes all compensation. In doing so they exercise due diligence to ensure such compensation is reasonable in the circumstances by a) investigating what other similarly situated entities are paying, b) by referring to surveys of similar religious organizations to objectively determine the value of services rendered, c) by consulting with independent compensation consultants, d) by taking into account the general economic conditions as well as the unique financial condition of this organization and e) by documenting in writing both the decision-making process and its final outcome.
