“The form 990 is reviewed by the director of finance, the president, and all remaining members of the board of directors before filing with the taxing authorities.”
“Duty to Disclose: In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the trustees, who are considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists: After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, the interested person shall leave the board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedure for Addressing the Conflict of Interest: In the event that the board determines that a proposed transaction or arrangement presents a conflict of interest, the board shall take the following actions: - An interested person may make a presentation at the board meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. - The chairman of the board shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. - After exercising due diligence, the board shall determine whether the corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. - If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested trustees whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. It shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with this determination. Violations of the Conflict of Interest Policy: If the board has reasonable cause to believe an interested person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the interested person of the basis for such belief and afford the interested person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the interested person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board determines the interested person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
“The Board reviews 990's of comparable organizations along with publicly available salary survey information. Salaries of individuals in comparable positions are used to set compensation for officers, directors and key employees. Compensation is approved by the Board.”
“Copies of the Form 1023, 990 and 990-T are provided upon request and are made available in the office.”
“Available on site for review.”
“The Organization's processes for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant have not changed from the previous year.”
“FIN 48 Statement: CA is exempt from Federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and Section 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation Code of California. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax provisions that are material to the financial statements. The federal and state income tax returns for CA prior to fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively, are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.”
