These reviews consider whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable; and whether partnerships, and joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the organization's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.”

“Capital & main's board of directors has a process for reviewing and approving the compensation of the executive director on a regular basis to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. The process for determining the compensation paid to the executive director includes the approval of the compensation arrangement in advance, by the board of directors, with all persons with a conflict of interest abstaining from the board's deliberation and discussion. The board reviews data of comparable compensation for similarly qualified nonprofit executives at similarly situated entities. The documentation of the board includes the terms of the transaction and the date of approval, the members who were present during the debate and vote on the transaction, a description of the comparable data and how it was obtained, and documentation of the basis for the determination.”
