“Form 990 is prepared by an independant cpa as part of completing the annual audit with assistance and input from the executive director. Once the report is complete, it is reviewed by the executive director for any corrections, additions, or adjustments. The 990 tax return is presented to the board of directors in conjunction with the presentation of the annual audit report or at the next regularly scheduled board meeting following completion of the report.”
“Nwfls' intake process is designed to check for any potential conflicts of interest; the executive director makes a final review prior to acceptance of case(s).”
“Board of directors for northwest florida legal services, inc. Serve on a voluntary basis, thus no compensation is received. The board approves the salary of the executive director.”
“The level of compensation for the executive director is determined by the board of directors at the time of his/her employment based on salary comparisons of similar positions both locally and statewide. Once a decision has been made for the base level, periodic reviews are made thereafter (usually 6 months after beginning employment,then bi-annually) relative to job performance and whether or not an increase is warranted. Other employees are placed on salary scales applicable to those positions. Job performance reviews are conducted on 2-3 year intervals by the executive director. Salary scales are usually adjusted as necessary based on cost-of-living and salary surveys.”
“The governing documents and copy of form 990 are available upon request by the public via the website at nwfls.org.”
