“A copy of the form 990 was provided to all members of the organization's governing body before filing the return. The audit committee, ceo and cfo review and approve the return prior to its filing.”

“Hqi provides annual training to the board and staff and then asks them to verify that they indeed have no conflicts. In the event of a conflict, a mitigation plan is put into effect. Either the board member recuses himself of herself from voting on any related matter or in the case of an employee, other employees or board members would step in to oversee the matter. Hqi has a compliance officer who ensures all potential conflicts are reported, and also monitors potential new work to make sure it does not involve any competing or conflicting objectives with existing work.”

“The executive compensation committee (all independent board members) or the board reviews the president's/ceo's compensation. They meet annually and review his performance based on goals set at the beginning of the year and then determine his raise, if any, for the year and what bonus, if any, he should receive. They consider the compensation paid to presidents and ceos of other similar nonprofit organizations. Hqi reviews 990s of other quality improvement organizations to compare salaries of similar executives, key personnel at those organizations. The organization also participates in the greater richmond compensation survey. This information is used to ensure that the salaries paid to officers and all employees are reasonable.”

“Hqi makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and form 990 available upon request to the public.”
