“The form 990 is reviewed by internal audit, management, the audit committee and board of trustees for review and comments prior to filing. However, the form 990-t will not be available for board review prior to filing.”

“General counsel annually obtains statement of disclosure from trustees, officers, administrators, key employees, and others who make or affect significant decisions and reviews the findings with appropriate boards and committees. The board of trustees makes the decisions regarding questions which have not been satisfactorily answered after administrative consideration. The general conference auditing department annually audits compliance with this policy.”

“The filing organization does not determine compensation for the organization's president. Compensation is set by a related organization, therefore question 15a is "no" in accordance with the form instructions. Lluh, llu's parent organization, employs an independent outside consulting firm to benchmark compensation for lluh employees, including the ceo and top management. Lluh provides management services for llu. The lluh executive compensation committee uses the results of the independent survey to establish pay scales for the next fiscal year. The executive compensation committee sets the total compensation below the industry mean and median amounts provided in the survey. The executive compensation committee is composed of trustees appointed by the lluh board who are independent of lluh's management. The executive compensation committee is appointed by the lluh board of trustees to have direct responsibility for establishing compensation, policies, and benefits for the senior executives of lluh. The committee's process includes contemporaneous substantiation of deliberations and decisions. For key employees other than the officers as well as employees in leadership positions, llu management, through the human resource department, obtains the services of an independent consulting firm to conduct nationwide compensation surveys. Management uses the comparable benchmarks in the survey results to establish or review pay scales for the position. This survey, conducted by the independent consulting firm, is performed for the organization every two years. Internally, the human resource department conducts annual surveys using at least three survey results from independent firms to establish or review the reasonableness of compensation amounts.
