“The fiscal officer reviews the 990, in detail, by going through each line of the 990 and by going through the audit to determine if the numbers are correct. She also reviews all of the questions and makes sure they are answered correctly. Then, she takes the 990 to the finance committee before sending it in. As a committee they mainly review the totals and the answers to questions. After the committee has reviewed and approved the 990 she has either the board president or the executive director sign the 990.”
