Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The Form 990 is prepared by the Commission's independent accounting firm and then reviewed by the Commission's Executive Director, Audit Committee and General Counsel. It is then distributed to all members of the Board of Directors prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“The Commission ensures compliance with its Conflict of Interest Policy in multiple ways. The Commission's transactions are few enough in number that the Executive Director is able to monitor for any transaction that might implicate the policy. In addition, the Policy is reviewed periodically with those subject to it, including at the Commission's annual meeting of its Board of Directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“The Board of Directors engaged a professional and independent compensation consultant to review and advise and then based on that, the Board determined the compensation for the executive director.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Commission is audited on a biennial basis and was last audited for the 2 years ended December 31, 2016. The Commission, in conjunction with their advisors, performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2016 (most recently), and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. The information returns (Form 990) for the years 2014 through 2016 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.”
