At least once per year, the members of the board are provided with literature from the irs website or www.guidestar.org or other sources with information and education concerning what constitutes a conflict of interest.

“Comparability data that includes compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for similarly qualified individuals are obtained through sources such as www.guidestar.org, guidestar industry surveys, louisiana occupational employment wage survey, or an indenpendent consultant. The comparibility data is reviewed by members of the compensation committee (comprised of all members of the board with the exception of the ceo), outside of the presence of the individual whose compensation is being considered. A "rebuttal presumption checklist" is utilized and the decision of the compensation committee is then contemporaneously documented reflecting the amount and terms of compensation; the date of approval; the members who were present and voting; the comparability of data relied upon to make its decision; and how the data was obtained. The contemporaneous documentation is attached to and forms part of the board minutes.”
