“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and is reviewed by the organizations Accounting Supervisor and top management for accuracy. Management then emails the draft 990 to the entire board of directors, in advance of filing, requesting their review and comments. Directors "reply to all" to the email so the whole board, as well as top management, can track the discussion and any concerns that arise.”

“At each regular board meeting, the board explicitly reviews any potential conflicts of interest, including requiring each director to report his or her outside organizational involvements. Any relevant conflicts of interest must be approved by the board. Should a conflict exist, interested parties are required to recuse themselves from the deliberations and subsequent board vote. Directors sign a conflict of interest statement on a semi-annual basis. In addition, at each regular board meeting, the board receives a report of the outside involvements of the organization's staff members.”

“On an annual basis, the board of directors, without the president's participation, conducts a review of the CEO's compensation and determines, by board vote, what that compensation should be for the coming year. Periodically, at the board discretion, the board reviews comparable organizations' presidents' compensation, discussing its findings (again, without the CEO present), and uses that input to inform its CEO compensation deliberations. All compensation related decisions are recorded in the board minutes.”

“By board policy, the organization makes such documents available upon request, but only as approved at the discretion of the CEO.”
