“The 990 is reviewed internally by the cfo. Then it is presented to the board finance committee who reviews it with the accounting firm, the president and cfo. Lastly, the board finance committee presents the 990 to the full board indicating their recommendations as to its completeness and accuracy. All board members receive a copy of the return before it is filed.”

“All board members and officers are required to complete the questionnaire annually. Management reviews the policies and considers the source and impact of any conflicts. If a conflict is found, that board member refrains from discussing or voting on that particular matter.”

“For all officers of the organization, compensation is determined by review of data from local 990s, salary surveys, input from human resource professionals and board member review. The last compensation review was completed september of 2015.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Financial statements are also available on the pacific science center's website which is available to the public.”
