“The special olympics federal form 990 is prepared and reviewed internally by senior management and is reviewed externally by an independent tax services firm, raffa, p.c., after which it is submitted by the chief financial officer and chief legal officer to the board of directors' audit and finance committee for review and approval. The final federal form 990 is sent to each board member by email prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

“Special olympics' conflict of interest policy applies to all special olympics directors, officers, and employees and requires the avoidance of the appearance of a conflict as well as actual conflicts. Special olympics' chief legal officer is charged with enforcing the conflict of interest policy. Potential or actual conflicts are dealt with according to whether the conflict involves a director, ceo, or president (in which case the matter is submitted to the board of directors) or involves another officer or employee (in which case the matter is submitted to the president or ceo). Violations may result in sanctions up to termination. Each spring, special olympics asks each officer, director, trustee, and key employee to complete and sign a questionnaire that includes a copy of the special olympics conflict of interest policy, an acknowledgment that the recipient has read the policy, confirmation that the recipient complied with the policy during the preceding year and up to the date of completing the questionnaire, a statement that the recipient has no conflicts to report or has reported them on the questionnaire, and an undertaking to promptly advise the ceo of special olympics upon becoming aware of any conflict. No special olympics director, officer, or employee who has a conflict of interest may vote or otherwise participate in any final deliberation or decision on behalf of special olympics regarding any contract, transaction, or other matter in which the director, officer, or employee has a conflict.”

“Special olympics' bylaws provide that the board of directors compensation committee shall, subject to approval of the board of directors, annually review, set, and document the reasonableness of the total compensation (including benefits and deferred compensation) for the chair (if compensated), the president (if compensated), and the chief executive officer and review, approve, and document the total compensation (including benefits and deferred compensation) for the senior executives who report directly to the chief executive officer. At least once every two years, the compensation committee presents to the board of directors a written evaluation of the chief executive officer's performance. No member of the board of directors who receives compensation from special olympics shall serve on the compensation committee. The chief executive officer's 2014 performance evaluation was finalized in january 2015 and approved by the compensation committee on january 30, 2015. The evaluation was approved by the executive committee of the board at its february 24, 2015 meeting.”
