“Prior to filing the 990, it is reviewed by the president & ceo and treasurer. It is then subsequently approved by the board of directors.”
“The conflict of interest policy is outlined in the staff handbook. Employees are required to sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand this policy upon employment at the museum. Any potential conflicts identified by the organization are required to be disclosed. All contracts are subject to a competitive bidding process to avoid any favorable treatment.”
“The president/ceo's performance is reviewed annually by the executive committee of the board of directors. The executive committee's evaluation of the president/ceo includes an assessment of comparable compensation based on data provided by the association of children's museums (acm) and the southeastern museums conference (smc). Compensation of other key staff are determined by their direct supervisor and the president/ceo based upon each individuals performance and the acm and smc salary data.”
“Upon request, the organization will provide its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public.”
“This process has not changed since prior year.”
“The financial accounting standards board issued asc 740-10, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribed a comprehensive model for how an organization should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that an organization has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The museum has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with internal revenue service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The museum believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on the museum financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the museum has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at december 31, 2024 and 2023. Fiscal years ending on or after december 31, 2021 remain subject to examination be federal and state tax authorities.”
