“To prepare the form 990, the us finance senior associate collated the information from finance, human resources and legal. The form was prepared by the outside accountants and was reviewed by the head of the us office and the chief financial officer.

A final copy of the form 990 was provided to the full board before it was filed with the irs.”

“Gain has a conflict of interest policy for board members. A questionnaire is completed at the beginning of each member's term and at each renewal.

Any disclosed conflict is reported back by the executive director to the full board and, if considered a conflict, the board member recuses himself/herself from the relevant discussion/decision matter. Gain grant agreemeents also include a conflict of interest provision for recipients to abide by. The conflict of interest policy is also addressed in gain's employee handbook in the fraud and corruption prevention policy, which applies to all staff.”
