Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“Management reviewed a draft of the form 990 with the audit/finance committee and provided edits to the tax preparer. After this process was performed, the form 990 was sent to the full board of directors prior to being filed with the IRS.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“African Leadership Foundation has a board-approved conflicts of interest policy and each board member must fill out an annual declaration stating that they had no conflicts or identifying the nature of their interested party transactions. If there is a conflict of interest, the board votes to approve the transaction. Board members do not vote on any matter in which they have an interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15A: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management

“Each year, the executive committee reviews comparable salaries based on a recognized study and reviews the performance of the executive director to determine if the existing salary falls within these ranges. After a deliberation of this matter, a new proposed salary and benefit package is voted on. The minutes of the board of directors reflect the nature of this process.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available
