Nowcastsa

“NOWCASTSA has its form 990 prepared by an external CPA Firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. Once form 990 is prepared and reviewed by management, it is provided to the members of NOWCASTSA's governing body for any comments prior to its submission to the IRS. The governing body is provided at least one week to review the prepared form 990 and provide feedback. Comments are grouped and summmarized. Each issue is documented and addressed until the return is finalized and approved for filing.”

“The annual process for determining compensation is as follows: NOWCASTSA shall (either the full board or Compensation committee/Executive committee)annually evaluate the managing director on his/her performance and compensation. The Human Resource or Executive committee will obtain research and information to make a recommendation to the full board for the compensation, both salary and benefits, of the Managing Director and other highly compensated employees or consultants, based on a review of comparability data. For example, the (Human Resource/Executive compensation)committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions and similar organizations. This data may include the following: 1. Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources. 2. Writen job offers for positions at smiliar organizations. 3. Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for profit organizations. 4. Information obtained from the IRS form 990 filings of similar organizations.”

“See process for Line 15a.”

“The governing document, financial statements and form 990 are available on the organization's website and upon request.”
