“Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers should annually sign a statement which affirms that person: (a) has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy; (b) has read and understands the policy; (c) has agreed to comply with the policy; and (d) understands that the organization is charitable and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. To ensure that the organization operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic review should be conducted at least annually. The periodic review should, at a minimum, include: (a) whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information and the result of arm's length bargaining; and (b) whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management corporations 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.”
