Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

A pdf of the final draft of the public disclosure copy of the 990, was provided to the seattle opera audit committee and all foundation board members for review and comment following preparation of the return by seattle opera staff and review by a public accounting firm and management. Since the seattle opera and seattle opera foundation financial statements are consolidated, the seattle opera audit committee takes responsibility for reviewing both the financial statements and the tax returns.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Board members review all real and potential conflicts of interest and take appropriate action to mitigate or eliminate them. Board members with any perceived conflict of interest recuse themselves from voting on related subjects. Form 990, part vi, ln 13 and 14 - seattle opera foundation has no employees. Seattle opera employees perform work on behalf on the foundation and are subject to the seattle opera whistleblower and document retention policies.
