“The Audit Committee shall have the responsibility for reviewing Beit T'Shuvah's Form 990 (including all pertinent Schedules) before it is filed with the Internal Revenue Service. A draft of the Form 990 should be ready for review by the Audit Committee no later than one month prior to the filing deadline. After the draft of the Form 990 has been obtained by the Audit Committee, they will have no more than two weeks to complete their review. In conducting their review of the draft of the Form 990, it is preferred that the Audit Committee shall conduct a top-level or big-picture type of review. However, if the Audit Committee desires or deems it necessary to conduct a more detailed review of the Form 990, then they should contact the preparer of the Form 990 to request copies of the relevant detailed tax return work papers which they would like to see. Once the Audit Committee has completed its initial review of the Form 990, a meeting or conference call will be scheduled with the preparer of the Form 990 (regardless of whether the Form 990 is externally or internally prepared) to discuss any questions, comments, and suggested revisions identified by the Audit Committee. The preparer of the Form 990 should make any revisions to the Form 990 as soon as feasibly possible to ensure that the Form 990 is filed with the Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis. All of the questions, comments, and suggested revisions set forth by the Audit Committee should be documented, along with any responses from the preparer of the Form 990, if applicable. After the Form 990 has been reviewed by the Audit Committee and filed with the Internal Revenue Service, the Audit Committee will make a presentation at the next full Board of Directors meeting to update the full Board regarding its review of the Form 990. At this meeting with the full Board of Directors, it is not required for the Audit Committee to review all of their questions, comments, and suggested revisions; a summary of their more important points will be sufficient.”

“Each year the Finance Committee meets to review and approve the salaries for each key position at Beit T'Shuvah. The Finance Committee collects independent statistical data in order to compare Beit T'Shuvah with similarly sized non-profit agencies that have equivalent yearly budgets. Based upon this information and an in-house review of the individuals' range and performance from the prior year, the Committee substantiates their decision to approve the salaries for the subsequent year of Beit T'Shuvah's Executive Director, CFO, Rabbi, Clinical Director and other key employees.”
