“A draft of the Form 990 is distributed to all Board members for approval before filing.”

“Annual conflict of interest reporting forms are filled out annually by all Board members, which report all conflicts and affirm adherence to the policy. These forms are reviewed by Invisible Children's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.”

“The Executive Compensation committee has the responsibility of overseeing Invisible Children's Executive Compensation program. The committee recognizes that in order for Invisible Children to achieve its ambitious goals, the organization must be able to attract, retain, and reward qualified executives who will be able to operate effectively in a challenging and complex environment. Comprised of disinterested Board members, the committee researches salaries of comparable positions and then votes to set executive compensation. The executives are not present for the vote.”

“Financial statements and annual reports dating back to 2006 are available to the public on Invisible Children's website. Copies are also provided upon request.”

“We bank with Wells Fargo and opened a multi-currency account to accommodate the Canadian screenings that are scheduled as part of the National Tour. This account is used to make deposits into our US account with Canadian currency. Wells Fargo's multi-currency "branch" is in Grand Cayman. Invisible Children does not work in the Cayman Islands.”

“A large portion of our travel expenses are related to mobilization programs (for example, the national tour). During our national tour, teams composed of four to five volunteers travel around the United States in vans, showing our documentary films and speaking to various groups about the LRA conflict. As a result, we have substantial gas and vehicle maintenance expenses. There is one Ugandan roadie per team per national tour, and in fiscal year 2013 there were approximately five teams per tour. The Ugandan roadies talk about the effect that LRA atrocities have had on their own lives. Invisible Children pays for the Ugandan roadies' airfare, visa, and vaccination expenses and provides them with a travel per diem. Travel expenses also include trips to East and central Africa for Invisible Children staff to supervise the progress of Protection and Recovery Programs in the region. The balance of travel expenses include trips related to fundraising, advocacy efforts, and the creation of media. The most common destinations were Uganda, central Africa, and Washington, DC.”

“Invisible Children follows ASC 958-720. For each activity that is considered a joint awareness and fundraising activity, Invisible Children considers the time spent by its employees and volunteers and the amount of time in its films and screenings that are attributable to awareness and fundraising. It applies percentages based on time spent on these activities to arrive at the joint cost allocations.”
