“There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”
“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm, reviewed by the executive and finance teams in detail, and then provided to the board prior to being filed with the Internal Revenue Service.”
“The conflict of interest policy covers directors, employees and volunteers. If a situation arises where there is a potential conflict of interest it must be disclosed to the board in writing, it must not be detrimental to the organization and be disclosed in any financial statements. If the conflict involves a person in the position of authority they must remove themselves from the decision making procedure.”
“Independent members of Samaritan Aviation's Board of Directors decides on the salary of top management and bases it on what they see as fair compensation using management and aviation industry experience and comparative data. The process and voting is documented in the board minutes. Compensation was last reviewed by the Board in 2015.”
“These documents are available upon request.”
“Exchange rate -22,848.”
“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for the oversight of the compilation of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed since the prior year.”
“The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the statements of activities. As of December 31, 2015, Samaritan Aviation had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Samaritan Aviation's federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Form 990 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”
