“Caplaws bylaws were amended on february 17, 2016 to authorize the vice-president to execute documents on behalf of the organization. (article ix)”
“There are no committees that have authority to act on behalf of the board.”
“The organization distributes a copy of the 990 to all of the board members for review and comment before the tax return is filed.”
“Board members and key employees are asked annually to complete, sign and return conflict of interest disclosure forms. The forms include a statement of the policy and an acknowledgement that the individual will follow the policy. If there is a potential conflict situation, it is addressed at a board meeting.”
“The board of directors performs an independent written evaluation of the executive director. The board then votes on whether to approve a salary increase based on cost of living, merit and compensation paid by comparable organizations for comparable positions.”
“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request.”
“Eleanor evans, executive director works approximately 18 hours per week for abcd, inc, an unrelated 501(c)(3) organization.”
“ROUNDING 1.”
“Caplaw has an agreement with action for boston community development, inc.(abcd), an unrelated 501(c)(3) exempt organization. Abcd employs attorneys and other help who spend all or a portion of their time on caplaw related matters and caplaw reimburses abcd for that time. All w-2s and related payroll tax returns are filed by abcd, under their tax identification number. Therefore, although caplaw is reporting amounts for salaries and related expenses, there are zero employees listed in part i line 5 and zero w-2's listed in part v line 2a.”
“The organization answered no to this question but as further explanation the organization does have a business relationship with abcd, inc., an unrelated 501(c)(3) exempt organization of which john drew, who was previosly a director of this organization is president/ceo.”
“The organization follows the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes standard which requires the organization to report uncertain tax positions, related interest and penalties, and to adjust its assets and liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. As of september 30, 2016 the organization determined there are no material unrecognized tax benefits to report. Information returns filed for the years ended september 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service and the commonwealth of massachusetts. The organization does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.”
