“The board fulfills its oversight responsibilities related to financial reporting process. The board will review and approve organization audit and form 990 tax return. The board will review with managment and independent auditors all matters required to be communicated to the comittee under gaas, including audit findings and comments and form 990 concerns, if any. Subsequent to the board review and approval of the form 990, a copy of the approved form 990 is provided to the full board prior to filing.”

“Rac has a conflict of interest policy to include directors, officers, executive director, president and key management employees. Such individuals, as described above, must disclose actual or potential conflict of interest by completeing an annual conflict of interest statement and disclosure form, and must update the disclosure form on an ongoing basis as any new activities or relationships arise. Policy extends to individuals' immediate family members (spouse, partner, siblings, parents and children). Completed disclosure forms are maintained at phmc's corporate office and reviewed by the president and senior phmc management. If an actual or potential conflict arises, the matter is discussed at the appropriate board level. Board or designated committee shall review each conflict within one month to determine if a conflict exists. If a conflict exists, interested party must abstain from participating in discussion or decision-making on this matter. The minutes of the board shall record the names of the person who was found to have an actual or potential conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict, follow up, and board's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. The minutes will also record the board vote and persons who abstained and any alternative to the proposed transaction or arrangement. Intentional violation of this policy constitutes cause for termination or removal.”

“The corporation makes its form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its corporate headquarters. The form 990 is also published on the internet at www.guidestar.com. The corporation's financial statements and governing documents (including conflict of interest policy) are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at managment's discretion.”
