“The federal form 990 is prepared by an accounting firm. A draft of the prepared federal form 990 is sent to the kindred's outside consultant and then to the executive director for comments. After any changes are made, the federal form 990 is then forwarded to all members of the board for their review.”

“Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers review conflict of interest policy and sign a statement annually. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“The executive director's compensation is determined by the board. The board relies upon compensation data obtained from similar organizations for persons performing duties similar to the duties performed by the executive director.”

“Kindred makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public in accordance with the federal and state disclosure requirements.”
