“The organization's form 990 will be prepared with the assistance of an independent certified public accountant. The completed return, including all required schedules and statements, will be provided to the organization's board of directors at least 21 days prior to the deadline for submission of the return to the internal revenue service. The completed return will be reviewed by the treasurer who will make sure that the information it contains is accurate and complete. If it is not, the treasurer will inform the organization's president, who will inform the preparer of the necessary corrections and additions. If necessary, the preparer will be instructed to request an extension of the filing deadline. Once the treasurer has determined that the return is accurate and complete, the 990 or 990-ez is presented to the board of directors at the next board meeting. After the board has recommended approval of the 990 or 990-ez, the treasurer will sign the return and arrange for it to be filed. A copy of the return will be retained with the organization's records, in keeping with the recordkeeping policy.”
