“The organization's form 990 is initially prepared by an independent accounting firm based on information provided by the organization's finance department. The finance department then reviews and provides comments on the return as drafted by the accounting firm. The organization's cfo then reviews and approves the revised draft return. The draft is reviewed and approved by the audit committee then distributed to the full board of directors for their review prior to filing with the irs.”

“Per the organization's written conflict of interest policy, all employees when hired are asked to complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement. Additional submissions should be made through a supervisor upon occurrence of any new activity, interest or relationship, which may give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. It is not the intention of the organization to require its employees to exercise independent judgment regarding a specific situation, and any doubts should always be resolved in favor of disclosure so that an informed judgment may be made. All new directors and staff officers are provided a copy of the conflict of interest policy and asked to complete the conflict of interest disclosure statement upon undertaking the duties of office. Annually, all directors and staff officers then-serving are furnished a copy of the conflict of interest policy and requested to complete the conflict of interest disclosure statement upon occurrence of any new activity, interest, or relationship, which may give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Additional submissions should be made in writing to a supervisor, if the interested individual is a staff member; to the ceo, if the interested individual is a director; or to the audit committee, if the interested individual is the ceo. When a director is involved, the ceo or other designated reviewing official has a responsibility to bring a potential conflict of interest to the attention of the board promptly for action at the next regular meeting of the board or during a special meeting called specifically to review the potential conflict of interest. The board has delegated to the audit committee the authority to review and vote on the board's behalf on all matters related to conflicts of interest, except when one of the committee members themselves is conflicted, in which case the board will oversee resolution of the conflict.”

“The organization adheres to the following policies and procedures for determining compensation of the ceo: (1) review and approval by the board or compensation committee of the organization; (2) use of data as to comparable compensation; and (3) contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberations and decisions. 1. Review and approval. The compensation of the person is reviewed and approved by the board of directors or compensation committee of the organization, provided that persons with conflicts of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement at issue are not involved in this review and approval. 2. Use of data as to comparable compensation. The compensation of the person is reviewed and approved using data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. 3. Upon recommendation from the compensation committee, the board approves the compensation and said decision is recorded in the minutes. Excluding the ceo, the compensation for the other officers of the organization are reviewed annually by the ceo or upon receiving the duties of an officer. The ceo determines appropriate compensation in coordination with the human resources director and in conjunction with the annual performance assessment.”
