Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“After cpa prepares form 990, form 990 is provided to cfo for review before it's filed with irs. Cfo reviews form 990 with cpa and raises any questions, or issues for discussion. Cfo then presents form 990 to the management. Form 990 is filed with irs once it's approved by the management.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“Smibf has a written conflict of interest policy. Annually all management team members (including offices and board of directors) complete a disclosure form identifying transactions and relationships which may be a conflict of interest. Management team members review all disclosures and determine whether any conflict of interest exists. A resolution will be formed by the management team, excluding the officer or board member with conflict of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“The smibf governing documents, financial statements, and tax returns are available upon request.”
