The review committee then determined the appropriate trustee (and certain officer) disclosures that should be made on form 990 based on the recommendations of the finance department, the general counsel's office and the audit and compliance department. The same process was conducted by the finance department, the general counsel's office, and the audit and compliance department with respect to the questionnaires submitted by other officers and key employees.
