“The organization's process for review of form 990 by the audit committee and by the board of directors is as follows: the external accounting firm will prepare form 990 and supplemental schedules as soon as possible after the completion of the audit, and forward a draft of the return to the executive director for review. Once the executive director has approved form 990 and supplemental schedules the return will be forwarded to the audit/finance committee for its review and approval. After the audit/finance committee has approved the return, the executive director will instruct the external accounting firm to prepare a final version of the return for signature by the executive director for filing with the internal revenue service. The form authorizing the external accounting firm to electronically file the form 990 on behalf of the organization will alternatively be signed by the executive director instead of the actual paper return. Every effort will be made to file the return in a timely manner with the internal revenue service. A copy of the completed, signed and filed form 990 with schedules will be included in the next board of directors meeting packet for review by the board.”
