New Perceptions Inc.

“The form 990 is reviewed by the executive director, the finance director and the finance committee prior to filing.”

“New perceptions, inc has a "code of ethics" policy and compliance statement for all board members and committee chairs (which includes ad hoc or other committees established by the board that may happen to have a chair who is not a voting board member) that includes conflict of interest. This policy confirms that all members will adhere to the by-laws, articles of incorporation, and policies of the agency, and that they "fully disclose", at the earliest opportunity, information of fact, that would have significance on board decision-making. The policy also requires that each member "remain accountable for prudent fiscal management and exercise powers for the good of the agency, rather than personal gain". Board members sign a form containing these requirements (and the requirements relating to confidentiality, equal opportunity, and integrity) immediately after election to the board. During board and committee meetings, members disclose any conflict, or potential perceived conflict, on any issue under discussion when the vote is taken, these members do not vote and they are recorded as "present but not voting" in the board meeting minutes.”
