“Two of benetech's directors, james r. Fruchterman and james kleckner, are also directors and have financial interests in raf technology, inc., a for-profit company located in redmond, washington.”
“The bylaws of beneficent technology, inc. State "one director of this corporation shall be designated by the designator from time to time", therefore the designator had the authority to elect one member of the governing body.”
“The cfo receives a copy of the form 990 from the preparer and conducts the first review of the form for accuracy. A copy of the draft 990 is then provided to the ceo, all board members, and the vp of hr for their review, edits, and comments. The cfo then incorporates any comments and edits received, if necessary. Any edits or changes are appropriately communicated to the preparer and once finalized, the final form 990 is signed off by the cfo.”
“Each key employee, officer, and director is expected to read and sign annually the company's conflict of interest policy and code of conduct policy which are then reviewed by the governance committee of the board and then filed with its minutes. If a conflict exists, the board or the appropriate committee shall follow the procedures set forth in the conflict of interest policy to appropriately protect benetech's interests.”
“The governance committee of the board of directors annually reviews comparable compensation information, and compensation of the ceo and cfo, and recommends any changes for full board approval.”
“Annual audited financials are made available to the public by posting to benetech's website after board approval. Available upon request are audited financials, governing documents, and conflict of interest policy.”
“The process of overseeing the audit and selecting an independent accountant has not changed from the prior year.”
“An endowment fund of $350,000 was received in march 2014 to support its programs for a term of five years. In 2017, benetech received an additional endowment of $100,000 with the same term as the original endowment fund. Any income generated from the endowment fund will be used only for program expenses. The principal of the endowment fund shall never be used unless agreed upon in writing.”
“Based on an analysis prepared by the organization, it was determined that the tax positions taken or expected to be taken had no material effect on the recorded tax assets and liabilities of the organization. The organization's federal and state income tax returns for the years 2013 through 2016 are subject to examination by regulatory agencies, generally for three years and four years after they are filed for federal and state respectively.”
