Governance Explanations

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

The organization's independent accounting firm works closely with the organization's accounting manager and director of finance to prepare an initial draft of the form 990. The draft is then distributed to and reviewed by the organization's audit committee chair, finance & investment committee chair, director of finance, accounting manager, finance manager, chief operating and financial officer, and general counsel. After corrections are made, the final form 990 is prepared for filing.

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

The organization's conflict of interest policy requires its officers and trustees to disclose whenever they have a financial interest that is implicated by a transaction or arrangement into which the organization is contemplating entering (a "potential conflict"). If a potential conflict exists, the interested officer or trustee must disclose the nature of his or her interest to the committee of the board evaluating the transaction and is excluded from all deliberations and decisions concerning the matter. In addition, the organization's trustees are required, on an annual basis, to certify that they have read and understood the organization's conflict of interest policy and to disclose certain relationships that could give rise to a potential or actual conflict of interest.
