Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The organization's Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. The 990 was then provided electronically to all members of the board for their review and comment. Board members were then given at least one week to review the Form 990 and send comments to the Chief Financial Officer. After all comments and questions were addressed, the 990 was filed with the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“Board members and senior staff are required to complete a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire on an annual basis. Disclosures are required to be updated with potential conflicts as they become known throughout the year. If a conflict is identified by management or by the board, the person with a conflict recuses themselves from the decision-making process, and the board votes on whether or not to engage in the transaction, based on whether it is in the best interests of Mercy Ships.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The Foundation does not compensate any officers, directors, or management. If at some point compensation plans are considered, the organization will adopt the compensation process used by Mercy Ships.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Mercy Ships Foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available for public inspection at the International Operations Center during regular business hours. Documents are also made available upon written request.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of activities. As of December 31, 2014, Mercy Ships Foundation had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Mercy Ships Foundation Form 990 is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after it is filed. As of December 31, 2014, Mercy Ships Foundation tax returns for the years 2011 through 2013 remain subject to examination.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The organization's Form 990 was prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. The 990 was then provided electronically to all members of the board for their review and comment. Board members were then given at least one week to review the Form 990 and send comments to the Chief Financial Officer. After all comments and questions were addressed, the 990 was filed with the IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Board members and senior staff are required to complete a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire on an annual basis. Disclosures are required to be updated with potential conflicts as they become known throughout the year. If a conflict is identified by management or by the board, the person with a conflict recuses themselves from the decision-making process, and the board votes on whether or not to engage in the transaction, based on whether it is in the best interests of Mercy Ships.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Foundation does not compensate any officers, directors, or management. If at some point compensation plans are considered, the organization will adopt the compensation process used by Mercy Ships.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Mercy Ships Foundation makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available for public inspection at the International Operations Center during regular business hours. Documents are also made available upon written request.
