“The irs form 990 is prepared by the organization's outside accounting firm, and reviewed by the organization's controller. The draft is provided to the ceo/president and the board finance and audit committee. Any changes are made by the outside accounting firm. The board finance and audit committee approves the filing of the return. The president/ceo signs the return; it is submitted by the outside accounting firm and then distributed to the board of directors.”

“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers must annually sign a statement which affirms that such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and d. Understands the coalition is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The finance and audit committee monitors compliance with the annual statement requirement.”

“Per the organization's by-laws, the directors and officers serve without compensation for their services as directors and officers. An employee of the organization is entitled to be compensated for his or her services as an employee even if the employee is also an officer or director. The ceo is the only employee who is also an officer or director. The ceo's compensation is evaluated by the board executive committee, and is informed by the salary benchmarking survey conducted annually by the organization's hr generalist for all organization positions. This benchmarking survey utilizes data from commercially available compensation surveys and attempts to identify the most pertinent comparables by not-for-profit, health care sector, budget size and geography. Any salary adjustment is communicated in writing from the board chair to the human resources department. The board is not involved in the compensation decisions for other staff positions; these are ceo decisions. However, all salaries undergo annual review utilizing the salary benchmarking survey. The board approves the overall annual operating budget and monitors the budget throughout the year.”

“Primary care coalition makes these documents available either on their website or upon request.”
