“The organization was part of the sentara healthcare system ("the system"), and as such, used the system's in-house tax department, headed by a licensed certified public accountant, to both prepare and review its form 990. During the preparation and review process, the tax department worked closely with other system departments, such as legal, compensation and benefits, compliance, finance, and marketing, to ensure that a complete and accurate return was filed.”

“Directors, board-nominated officers, and key employees submit an annual conflict of interest questionnaire and certify to the completion and accuracy of the information disclosed.

“As part of the sentara healthcare system ("the system"), the organization followed processes and procedures set forth in its governing documents to ensure compliance with its obligations as a 501(c)(3) healthcare organization to pay disqualified persons reasonable compensation. Such processes and procedures are intended to establish the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the internal revenue code section 4958 regulations. The compensation philosophy of the system as a whole is to base overall compensation and benefits for executives on not-for-profit market comparables, adjusted as applied to each executive, taking into consideration the individual skills, experience, tenure and performance of the executive being compensated and overall performance of the organization. In line with this philosophy, the system performed substantial due diligence as to market comparables. The system's compensation committee, which consists of system board members without conflicts of interests, engaged an outside consultant, who reports to the compensation committee, to conduct a study assessing the competitiveness of total compensation (including cash compensation, benefits and perquisites) of its senior executives prior to making decisions regarding annual base salary adjustments, approving incentive awards, or considering programmatic changes. The study compared the compensation of the system's senior executives to compensation data from multiple published survey sources based on the senior executive's functional responsibility. In conducting the study, the consultant targeted other not-for-profit health systems of similar size based on net revenue and complexity. For health plan positions, health plans with similar premiums, or members, were targeted. The consultant also conducts a review of the organization's performance relative to a group of not-for-profit health systems of comparable size and scope of operations every year. The most recent study compared sentara's performance to 31 not-for-profit healthcare systems based on net revenue growth, operating margin, various clinical quality metrics and patient satisfaction. Overall, the consultant determined that sentara's pay was aligned with its relative performance. The compensation study was presented to the system's compensation committee, which made its compensation decisions based on a)its review and analysis of the performance of both the organization and its senior executives and, b) a reasonableness of compensation analysis and opinion from an external expert in the compensation of executives in the tax-exempt health care field. The committee's bases for its decisions were documented in committee minutes taken during the meeting and then circulated for review and approval. All decisions regarding compensation were made by the committee, which consists of system board members without conflict of interests. This process was used to establish compensation for the organization's vice chairman and treasurer; who also serve as senior vice president and coo, and senior vice president and cfo of the system, respectively. The process was last undertaken during the tax year for the positions listed. The outside market study described above was also used to establish compensation for the organization's president, who is considered the top management official of the organization. Results were presented to the president and ceo of the system for review and approval rather than the system's compensation committee.”
