“The audit committee reviews the 990 with the cfo and with the audit firm to answer any questions from committee members. After making any necessary edits to the form subsquent to the audit committee's review, the cfo send the 990 to awf's governing board and provides a window for questions or comments from trustee before filing the return with the internal revenue service.”

“Trustees and officers receive and sign a conflict of interest policy statement upon election to the board of trustees, annually. If a trustee feels that he/she may have a potential conflict of interest with awf, these concerns are brought to the attention of the board of trustees' chair and/or audit committee of the board of trustees' for deliberation. All staff members are required to sign a conflict of interest policy upon hiring and with each new contract amendment. Staff concerns regardin conflicts of interest are brought to the human resources and culture department for review by the cfo and other members of the executive leadership team when required. Staff that review and enter into purchase contracts are trained to question potential conflicts of interest. Local finance officers review transactions up to $1,000. Additional scrutiny is given to larger contracts by the director of administration and facilities. Any potential conflicts of interest are forward to the cfo and/or the ceo for review.”

“The cfo gathers data from publicly available sources to compare compensation of similar organizations, grouped by size. Additionally, an outside firm conducts an independent review to show pay ranges for the top executive of similar firms and makes a recommendation. The data is provided to the compensation committee of the board of trustees who ultimately decide the level of the ceo's compensation. Informal salary reviews for officers and key employees are performed annually by the human resources department with oversight by the cfo. Formalized salary surveys by an outside firm are conducted every 3-5 years for officers, key employees and highly compensated employees. For all officers and key staff located within the united states, information from comparable organizations is collected through publicly available federal form 990s. For key employees located outside the united states, compensation studies are obtained as necessary to provide comparable data. Recommendations are made by the cfo to the ceo who ultimately makes compensation decisions. The process described here was last completed in 2023.”

“Awf's federal form 990 and annual report are available upon request and are published on awf's website.”
