A two week timeframe will be provided for governing body comments or questions. Following the resolution of any questions or other matters that have arisen, the form 990 and accompanying schedules will be provided by the account executive to a designated officer (chair or treasurer) for final authorizing signature. The signed form 990 will be returned to the association management company for submission to the irs by the due date of the return.”

“To monitor the conflict of interest policy, the Foundation's Secretary keeps a listing of potential conflicted entities and individuals. The Foundation's Treasurer uses this list as a comparison of potential conflicts. When dealing with service providers, the Foundation asks those providers to disclose any relationships that they may have with Foundation Directors. On a yearly basis, the Foundation distributes a certification and disclosure form to all Directors. Each person has to certify that they received the policy, has read and understood the policy and has agreed to comply. The person has to certify that they don't have a conflict of interest to report and describe any relationships that they may have that may potentially be a conflict of interest between the Foundation's interests and their own personal, financial or other interests. In addition, the person must sign the certification and disclosure form, which is declared as a record and maintained in the Foundation's files.”

“Governing documents, the conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”
