“The form 990 is prepared by an independent public accounting firm based on audited financial statements and with the assistance of the organization's finance and accounting staff. The treasurer and the executive director review the final draft of the 990.”

“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. For directors and officers, the executive director's office requests completion of an annual disclosure form by august 31 for all directors and officers. The executive director assures that all forms have been received and prepares a summary of disclosures and forwards the forms and summary to the board's executive committee, which reviews the disclosures and makes a report to the board at its next quarterly meeting. The executive director also sends the summary to the external auditors and tax preparers for disclosure in the annual tax filings.”

“The process for determining the compensation of the executive director and other top management officials is as follows: the executive personnel committee of the board annually assesses appropriate compensation by conducting a performance evaluation and then looking at comparative independent surveys and studies, principally the compensation and benefits survey published by the center for non-profit management, which supplies data across the sector gathered from more than 256 non-profit organizations.”

“The organization makes its audited financial statements and form 990 for the most recent three years available to the public upon request. The conflict of interest policy and other governing documents are made available upon request.”
