“The executive director completes the questionnaire provided by our tax and audit firm. The treasurer reviews the answers to the questionnaire before it goes to the tax/audit firm. Once a draft of form 990 is prepared, the treasurer, executive director and bookkeeper/accountant review it. Then it is shared via secure email with the rest of the board of directors for their review with a deadline to reply with any questions. Those questions are answered and the final 990 is completed, submitted and shared with the full board.”
“Each year board members must complete a form indicating any affiliations they have with other organizations and companies, as well as confirming that they have read our conflict of interest policy. In addition, this is discussed at the first board meeting of the fiscal year.”
“A committee of board members researched comparable nonprofit organizations and the full board discussed the executive director's compensation and each key employee's compensation fully before voting to approve them.”
“The documents are made available on givingmatters.com website as part of the organization's non-profit profile, guidestar, and upon request.”
“PROCESS HAS NOT CHANGED.”
“Book'em has a small endowment intended to provide stability and capacity building for the organization in the future to continue the fulfillment of our mission.”
“We are exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and qualify for charitable deduction. We are not classified as a private organization. In accounting for uncertain income taxes, we recognized a tax position as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. At december 31, 2022, we have no uncertain tax positions. We recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. We have no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of december 31, 2022. We are no longer subject to examination by u.s federal and state taxing authorities for fiscal years ending before 2019.”
