Arca foundation also has a policy directing the board president and other board members on how to disclose a potential conflict of interest when issues are discussed or voted, which includes disclosure and the party removing themselves from the meeting during discussion and vote. The policy directs the board or committee to seek alternatives to the proposed transaction so as not producing a conflict of interest unless a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible.”

“Arca's foundation's executive committee conducts periodic reviews to determine if: 1)compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information and the result of arm's length bargaining and 2) conform to arca's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purpose and do not result in impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction. These reviews occur at least annually. The committee does a comparative survey of salaries of organizations similar in size and nature. The review and comparative study is documented.”

In the fiscal year ending june 30, 2024, arca recorded a net surplus of 8,766,976. This extraordinarily high surplus was due primarily to erc claims totaling 7,519,480 for three quarters during 2021. Arca received payment for the third quarter of 2021 during the year ended june 30, 2024. The remaining receivable in the amount of 4,547,181, which is net of 802,444 in fees, is outstanding at june 30, 2024.
