“The organization's director of finance reviews and discusses the form 990 with an outside cpa firm that specializes in nonprofit taxation. A complete form 990, including all schedules, is provided to the board for its review prior to the filing of the return.”

“The organization has a conflict of interest policy. Under the policy "interested persons" include any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: 1) ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement, 2) a compensation arrangement with the organization or with any entity or individual with which the organization has a transaction or arrangement, or 3) a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with any entity or individual with which the organization is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. All interested persons are required to annually complete the corporation's conflict of interest disclosure. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Determining whether a conflict of interest exists: after disclosure of the financial interest and 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 chairperson of the governing board of committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. 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. 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 of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable.”

“The organization has a process for reviewing and approving the compensation of the ceo, officers, and key employees in advance and on a regular basis, to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. The governance committee makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation packages, with all persons with a conflict of interest abstaining from the deliberation and discussion. The board relies on a compensation survey report in determining market rate compensation package recommendations. The compensation survey report considers data from similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The minutes adequately and timely document the basis for the board's determination concurrently with making that determination. The documentation of the board includes the terms of the transaction and the date of approval, the members who were present during the debate and vote on the transaction, a description of the comparable data and how it was obtained, and documentation of the basis for the determination.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policies and the audited financial statements are available upon request.”
