Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“When the form is completed, and prior to submission to the irs, the form 990 is reviewed by the audit committee, subcommittee of the board of trustees which includes non-trustees and trustees. Upon acceptance by this subcommittee, the form 990 is finalized and distributed to the full board for information and comment and then filed electronically with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The seti institute has a formal conflict of interest questionnaire that is designed to identify possible conflicts of interest among our trustees. This questionnaire is distributed annually and trustees are required to complete it and return it to the board secretary. The secretary, in conjunction with the trusteeship committee chairperson, reviews each questionnaire, conducts interviews when needed, and communicates any identified conflicts to the full board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The seti institute uses a professionally prepared compensation study to determine appropriate compensation levels for all employees. When changes to any officer's compensation amount is proposed, the board, in an executive session, reviews the proposed change and approves it by formal board resolution prior to it being granted. The process was last undertaken in 2020.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The seti institute distributes its financial information to the public via dun and bradstreet and other outside websites, such as guidestar. We also make our form 990 and financial statements available upon request. Governing documents may also be made available upon request.”
