“Prairie stem receives a draft copy of the form 990 from their accountant. Form 990 is provided to the treasurer for review with the board of directors. After review and approval, a copy is kept in the permanent records of the organization.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Board members complete a conflict of interest statement when they join the board. Significant business decisions are approved by the board of directors as a whole. At least two of the following review all transactions to make sure they comply with practices and policies of the organization: executive director, secretary/treasurer, operations manager or the cfo.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“Approval by the entire board of directors is necessary before hiring the executive director. The executive director is compensated by hours worked or projects worked (project compensation amount is established in the proposal to the client). Approval and payment to executive director is made by the secretary/treasurer of the organization upon presentation of documentation for hours or projects worked.”
