Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault

“The organization's 990 is reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the organization's executive director and treasurer. In addition, all board members are provided a copy of the 990 before it is filed and are given the opportunity to provide feedback. Formal board approval is required before the 990 is finalized and filed. The 990 is provided to board members in an electronic format, utilizing the organization's online governance portal with a review and comment period prior to voting occurring.”

“Each year, at the organization's annual retreat, board members are required to review the conflict of interest policy and complete a conflict of interest form that discloses potential conflicts of interest. New board members are required to review the policy and complete the form when they first come one to the board. Potential conflicts are reviewed by the board governance committee, and appropriate action is taken by the board of directors in accordance with the action requested by the board governance committee. If a conflict is determined to exist for a board member, that board member must recuse themselves from any vote in which the conflict is or could be present.”

“Compensation for the executive director is determined by the board of directors, all of whom are considered to be independent of the executive director. The board establishes a reasonable level of pay by considering salary survey data to identify a reasonable salary for a similar position at a similar organization within the region. The deliberation and determination of the executive director's compensation is contemporaneously documented in the board minutes or in a detailed budget approved by the board.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon written request to the organization's office.”
