“The form 990 goes to each member of the board of directors where questions and concerns are addressed. The finance committee does an in-depth review of the 990.”

“The members of the board are conscientious of conflict of interest activities and voluntarily bring up their own activities for discussion if they feel it might violate, or give the perception of violating the organization's conflict of interest policy. The executive committee monitors and addresses issues that might be potential conflicts of interest. The management and committee structure of sunshine terrace foundation also promotes the ongoing monitoring of conflict of interest activities. The members of the board are all known to each other, as they are all part of the same community. This makes it easier to identify situations where a conflict of interest may exist.”
