“The form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm and reviewed by the cfo and controller. Once the form 990 has been reviewed notice is sent to each member of the organization's board of directors inviting them to review the 990 and submit comments or questions prior to filing.”

“In addition to sending out an annual questionnaire to directors and officers to determine conflicts of interest, safari club international periodically reviews whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable and are the result of arms-length bargaining and whether any transactions, partnerships and agreements with other organizations or individuals conform to written policies, are properly documented, reflect reasonable payments for goods and services, further safari club international's purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit.”

“Generally safari club international will base compensation as close as possible to the appropriate external marketplace. To do this, safari club international relies on relevant comparability data including, but not limited to, compensation levels paid by similar situated organizations for functionally comparable positions, the availability of similar services in the geographic area, current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms and actual written offers from similar institutions competing for the services of the individual whose compensation is being considered. The board of directors, the compensation committee or a similar committee comprised of members of the board of directors will review and approve the compensation arrangements. This process was last completed in 2019.”

“Financial statements, the form 990, the governing documents and a compilation of safari club international policies are posted on safari club international's website.”
