“Form 990 is prepared by an independent cpa firm in conjunction with the organization's accounting manager and cfo. A draft of form 990 is then reviewed by the accounting manager and cfo, and any corrections/modifications are then made by the outside cpa. The revised draft is then reviewed by the cfo and vice president for strategic direction. Any concerns that the cfo has are raised with the cpa firm, and, when necessary, the vice president. When a consensus is achieved, the return is then finalized and electronically filed with the taxing authorities. The filed form 990 is submitted to the entire board of directors.”

“Board members renew their conflict of interest statement annually. In the statement, they pledge to alert the organization of any conflicts as they arise, not just on an annual basis.”

“The salary for the ceo was approved by the board of directors, after a review of compensation data for the same position in similar organizations, compiled from nonprofit industry surveys, as well as information from specific organizations of similar impact.
