Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 2

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

A copy of the form 990 is not provided to the organization's governing body prior to filing. However, the governing body is provided with current financial reports at the annual board meeting. Prior to filing, a thorough review of the form 990 is performed by the president, chief in-house accountant, and by the organization's certified public accountant who prepares the form 990. This review also consists of a review of the current instructions pertaining to the form 990.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Annually, the organization requires officers, directors and key employees to sign the conflict of interest policy.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

Executive compensation is determined by independent board members elected to an executive compensation committee. Compensation committee decisions are based upon a study performed by an outside consulting firm (guinn smith & co.) which analyzed comparative and contemporaneous compensation packages of similar organizations. Subsequent compensation increases have been cost of living adjustments.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15B

Compensation for key employees in ministry services is primarily commission based. Each ministry services employee accepts an agreement which specifies a base hourly rate and a specific percentage they will receive from gross net profits generated from their activities. Family and non-family employees share the same non-discriminatory agreement. Overall compensation is incentive and performance based.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

Governing documents are made available to the public pursuant to written request. After receipt of any such requests, the organization will make disclosable documents available for inspection at the headquarters of bible study time, inc. During normal business hours.
