“Board members are given a copy of the 990 at a board meeting or via email. The return is filed upon board approval.”
“Board attorney discusses any conflicts, and potential conflicts, at board meetings.”
“Compensation is determined using comparable data and is then voted on by the board of directors.”
“The documents can be requested in person, via email, or by phone and will be mailed out within five business days.”
“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit, review, or compilation of the financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year.”
“The organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code and comparable state law. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. The organization follows the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes under the income taxes topic of the codification. The codification requires the evaluation of tax positions, which includes maintaining its tax-exempt status and the taxability of any unrelated business income, and does not allow recognition of tax positions which do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Management does not believe it has taken any positions that would not meet this threshold. The organization's income tax returns are subject to possible federal examination, generally for three years after they are filed.”
