Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by a national accounting firm in conjunction with internal management. The form 990 is initially reviewed by the organization's senior management and the Board of Directors Chair and Treasurer. After changes, if any, are made, the form 990 is then distributed to the entire Board of Directors for review prior to being filed. The form 990 is filed once it is approved by the Board of Directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The conflict can be presented to the board of directors, then it is investigated by a disinterested party, and after exercising due diligence, the board will determine if a more advantageous arrangement can be made with a party that does not provide conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The organization has a 'Compensation Review Policy'. Compensation of the CEO or Key Employee shall be reviewed and approved by the board of directors or a committee. Any person with a conflict of interest shall not be involved in the review and approval process. The compensation is reviewed and approved by using comparable compensation data for similar positions. There is contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping with respect to the deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation agreement. We answered no to 'Other officers or key employees of the organization' because we don't have any other officers or key employees, but we do have a process in place for additional officers and key employees if it becomes applicable.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public during the tax year upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The form 990 is prepared by a national accounting firm in conjunction with internal management. The form 990 is initially reviewed by the organization's senior management and the Board of Directors Chair and Treasurer. After changes, if any, are made, the form 990 is then distributed to the entire Board of Directors for review prior to being filed. The form 990 is filed once it is approved by the Board of Directors.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The conflict can be presented to the board of directors, then it is investigated by a disinterested party, and after exercising due diligence, the board will determine if a more advantageous arrangement can be made with a party that does not provide conflict.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The organization has a 'Compensation Review Policy'. Compensation of the CEO or Key Employee shall be reviewed and approved by the board of directors or a committee. Any person with a conflict of interest shall not be involved in the review and approval process. The compensation is reviewed and approved by using comparable compensation data for similar positions. There is contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping with respect to the deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation agreement. We answered no to 'Other officers or key employees of the organization' because we don't have any other officers or key employees, but we do have a process in place for additional officers and key employees if it becomes applicable.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The organization made its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public during the tax year upon request.
