“The audit committee and the executive committee and board of trustees of htcar reviewed the prepared form 990 after its completion by the retained accounting firm, followed by a sign-off by the full board of directors. All bodies reviewed the data and could offer refinements to narrative language. The final form 990 was submitted to the internal revenue service shortly after review. The complete form 990 is provided to the entire board of directors before it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Annually, executive team members and board members are required to sign a conflict of interest form disclosing any such issues. Executive team member forms are reviewed by the chief human resources officer and the boards forms are reviewed by the secretary to the board to ensure compliance. Any areas of concern are thoroughly discussed and remedied atthe time and throughout the year. Board members with a conflict are required to recuse themselves from voting on such matters in which they have a conflict.”

“The executive committee of the htcar board of directors is charged with overseeing issues surrounding executive pay and benefits.

The committee approves all compensation agreements noted above in advance of their implementation and documents its discussions and determinations.”
