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 affirming that the person has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands that the organzation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The purpose of the conflict of interest policy is to protect the organization's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the organziation or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of any financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, that person shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interests exists. After discussion, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of disinterested members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with this determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

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

The process used by bible study time, inc. To determine compensation for its top management official, in this case, president, is determined by independent board members elected to an executive compensation committee. The compensation determined by the committee was derived from a compensation study performed by an outside consultant. The compensation study was based on the analysis and research of compensation packages of comparable organizations. Subsequent compensation increases have been determined with consideration to cost-of-living adjustments.

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