Urban Ed Inc

“The form 990 was prepared by an outside accountant and reviewed by the president (executive director), board treasurer, secretary, and chair. The entire board is given the opportunity to review the return prior to filing with the irs. Final draft is sent electronically to board members. They are asked toe review and comment within a set number of business days. If no change requests are submitted by that deadline, the return is filed upon the president's approval. If changes are requested and agreed to, such changes are made and the return is filed.”

“Enforcement of conflicts policy: employees and board members are required to sign a conflict-of-interest statement every year indicating that they do not have any undisclosed personal relationships with urban ed's business contacts. Such relationships are disclosed to the manager of administration immediate upon determination that such a relationship exists, and the manager of administration brings all such relationships to the attention of the president for approval. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, safeguards are established to protect all parties. Urban ed will not engage in a business relationship with an organization in which any employee or board member has a financial interest or would otherwise benefit financially.”

“The board determines compensation for top management. It reviews comparable salary data for organizations similar in size, etc. And votes on the compensation when the budget is approved. Any data to support the board's decision is maintained in the personnel file. The board minutes also reflect the deliberations.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
