“The form 990 is prepared by a public accounting firm with assistance from the controller in providing data. The return is then reviewed by craft3's cfo and controller and provided to the board to review before filing with the internal revenue service.”

“A conflict of interest is a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer, director, committee member, staff, or consultants of the organization or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the organization's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. All craft3 employees and directors agree to abide by the conflict of interest policy rules by reading the employee policy handbook upon hire. All employees and directors are required to sign the policy annually.”

“Craft3 utilizes a third-party financial industry survey to evaluate wages for each position. This includes market analysis, job description analysis, etc. These are re-evaluated annually. Additionally, annual performance plans are completed by all employees, reviewed and accepted by their supervisors. Annual bonuses (if any) are based off of the results of the individual's performance plan as well as company performance overall. Pay increases are determined by supervisors and then approved or denied/modified by the ceo. For the ceo, pay increases and bonuses are approved by the board and documented contemporaneously in the board minutes. This compensation review and approval process is completed annually.”

“The organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request, and the annual audited financial statements are accessible on the company website (www.craft3.org) for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
