Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The 990 was prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by the chief operating officer, vp for programs & strategy, chief of staff, and director of development.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers annually signs a statement that affirms that such person: has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; has read and understands the policy; has agreed to comply with the policy; understands that the center for democracy and technology is a charitable organization and that, in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes; and agrees to disclose any relationships, positions or circumstances which may present or contribute to a conflict of interest as defined in this policy. If the board or committee has a reasonable cause to believe that an interested person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

Compensation decisions regarding the ceo are reviewed and voted on by the board of directors. The board uses comparability data and the decision was documented. The most recent review was completed in december 2015.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon request. It makes its annual audits available on its website and upon request.
